I'm not impressed because it depends on the resolution of the screen, so I wouldn't highly recommend this tool.

I personally escalate Leapwork issues with the Leapwork support tech team, and they are very quick to solve problems.

We achieved this scaling without any significant issues.
Automation Test Engineer Il at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
It also doesn't have the analytics and dashboards that you need for large scale enterprise implementations, which is why it's not really scalable.

Room For Improvement

Eggplant Test struggles with usability, integration, setup issues, and outdated features, requiring improvements in performance, support, and accessibility.
TestRail needs improvements in reporting, integration, user interface, defect management, API, technical support, pricing, and AI features.
For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective.
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture.
Practice Head - QA at IdeaBytes
If you want to use TestRail for enterprise-level waterfall projects with traditional reporting and a lot of analytics, it's not good enough because the analytics, dashboards, and reporting are not really there.
Release and Test Manager at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
I would appreciate AI features that help design test cases based on documented requirements.
Test Architect at Zest Consulting

It can auto-heal the test cases and suggest new paths for testing, enhancing our ability to automate end-to-end journeys across various applications.
Practice Head - QA at IdeaBytes
It can integrate with GitHub, allowing you to work with DevOps pipelines, so whenever you make changes in GitHub, it runs and checks the smoke testing on the server.
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The integration with Jira is good. I like that because it helps to show your test results and helps you to keep traceability between your user stories and your test results.
Release and Test Manager at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
It significantly saves effort in managing test execution and managing all test cases.
Test Architect at Zest Consulting
The reporting capabilities and the simplicity of it make it user-friendly, as new users can easily understand the tool.

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.
ChristineAnderssen - PeerSpot reviewer
Release and Test Manager at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Provides quick test management for agile workflows but lacks customization for reporting and dashboards
The analytics and reporting capabilities in TestRail are not very extensive and tailorable. This doesn't make it very suitable for enterprise level programs. With OpenText, you have a lot of flexibility. I'm talking about the old version of ALM, the desktop client, which I used when it was still Micro Focus ALM. It has a tremendous ability to generate different types of reports. You can build different graphs, have Word document format, Excel format, or write your own Excel queries and incorporate that into your own reporting. TestRail has one type of format. If you want to generate a test summary report, there is basically only one format that you can use. You can't add your own components. You can choose which portions of your test results you want to include by selecting certain sections, but you don't have freedom to add and remove sections yourself. It's predefined and all that you can do is just take out the ones that you don't want. It is usable, but it's not tailorable, it's not configurable, it just gives you the bare minimum. It depends on what you use the tool for. If you want to use TestRail for enterprise-level waterfall projects with traditional reporting and a lot of analytics, it's not good enough because the analytics, dashboards, and reporting are not really there. However, if you use it for agile and you want quick and easy with very simple functionality, then it's very good because it's simple to use. For agile use cases, it's great and you don't need more than that. But if you are looking for an enterprise tool or waterfall project with large programs, even the enterprise version is not sufficient. There's no significant difference from the basic version. The only thing that you really get is the ability to have multiple project reporting, but the reporting itself is limited. There are no configurable dashboards. You can report across multiple projects, which is great, but the type of reports that you can run are limited to the current set of built-in reports. That's not good enough for enterprise level with multiple project and large programs. You want multiple reports across multiple projects and you want the tailorability and configurability of having dashboards and analytics, which TestRail is weak on for the enterprise level.
