Featured Reviews

Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort
I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.
reviewer2541093 - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Provides efficient test automation for web applications and has good technical support services
The platform's most valuable features include its recorder, which allows users to create test cases with minimal effort, significantly simplifying the process. Vision AI enhances image recognition capabilities, improving the accuracy and efficiency of visual testing. The audit trail feature helps track changes and maintain compliance, which is particularly important in regulated industries. Smart fix automatically resolves issues, reducing manual intervention, while the self-healing feature ensures that test cases remain accurate and functional, even when system changes occur.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"I love a good portion of this solution, the stand outs for me are the ability to read texts, and being able to automate anything you wish to do."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"This solution has helped our organization because we can create test cases faster as compared to using Selenium, there are no language dependencies and people are not required to be trained for two to five months."
"It has definitely improved the quality of our software."
"Good text reading ability."
"Eggplant allowed us to replace that human work with an automated solution that reduced the time that it took a person to perform the test from upwards of three hours down to a few minutes, while increasing the accuracy to the levels where we are entirely accurate with our timing and tests."
"The platform's most valuable features include its recorder, which allows users to create test cases with minimal effort, significantly simplifying the process."
 

Cons

"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"eggPlants data input is text based and does not easily conform to data driven test, and this makes data management painful."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"There was no free trial in it."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"The solution currently does not support mobile applications. It would significantly improve its versatility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"The product helps reduce overall costs by decreasing reliance on manual testers and speeding up testing cycles."
