Featured Reviews

Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Manjit Chakravarty - PeerSpot reviewer
Good performance monitoring, stable, and scalable
The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps. I have worked as an operations engineer, implementation engineer, and architect in India. However, the solution is not readily available to every customer. For example, if a company purchases a license and implements the solution, the BAU operation team may be unfamiliar with the product. The solution provides some free training and videos on its website, but it could improve its training and support for customers who purchase a license. Additionally, I have found it difficult to get support for production-related issues. The solution could improve its response time for these issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"It is easy to set up."
"There are a lot of customization options, such as creating your own tables and more. You have the option to make whatever you like and see whatever you want."
"I like Stratusphere's login metrics. It lets you drill down to exactly what you want to see."
"Performance monitoring is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"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."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"It has low productivity."
"The time taken by the solution for the data to load should be improved. It was pretty high in some instances. The latency for some stuff to load up was pretty high."
"The main challenge for this solution is its lack of availability for training and in-depth troubleshooting steps."
"The dashboard is pretty lackluster compared to its competitors. They need to look at the competition and adopt some of those features. Liquidware could make the dashboarding more user-friendly and integrate scripting into the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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 license is based on the number of users. I don't know the current prices, but it's around four euros per user monthly. My customers consider it expensive."
"The price varies depending on our model type and the number of users or devices."
