Featured Reviews

Bhishan Bhandari - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder and CEO at YaYpply
Automated mobile behavior has transformed how our team gathers and processes customer insights
The best thing I appreciate about Genymotion Cloud is that I do not have to individually take on the burden of having to install the Android OS on individual instances. I can directly use the already built-in Android operating system device through Genymotion Cloud, and this cuts almost 50 to 60% of my workload. It is reliable, and the communication between these instances is easier. Putting them inside a VPC, I could save costs in terms of data transfer by using private IPs, and that is what I appreciate about it. Genymotion Cloud has positively impacted us by helping us gather insights that could then later be processed by our business intelligence team to identify potential customers and thus impact directly our revenue streams. Genymotion Cloud instances help us cut a large amount of time gathering insights because these instances are run for 24 hours, and we rotate the instances to gather insights. This helps us reduce the time to generate insights by perhaps 70 to 80% compared to doing it ourselves or building a farm to perform automation. Using Genymotion Cloud, I can run multiple instances, perhaps 100 to 150 or 200 instances at a time of Android devices running in parallel, performing certain actions of automating user behavior. This gives me an unparalleled advantage to the regular process of generating and gathering insights from individual devices. If I were to install Android OS onto an AWS instance by myself, that would be a tedious process for me. That is why I appreciate using Genymotion Cloud instances.

Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Genymotion Cloud has positively impacted my organization by being more cost effective."
"The best features Genymotion Cloud offers, in my experience, include being a totally browser-based platform where I can open it in a browser and use any Android emulator with any configuration."
"The advice I would give to others looking into using Genymotion Cloud is that the return on investment is straightforward because on day one, you can see the value."
"Scalability in Genymotion Cloud is exceptional, as we can start with one device, then scale to 10 and to 100 in a second without any hardware limitation."
"Using Genymotion Cloud, I can run multiple instances, perhaps 100 to 150 or 200 instances at a time of Android devices running in parallel, performing certain actions of automating user behavior, which gives me an unparalleled advantage to the regular process of generating and gathering insights from individual devices."
"For the QTP/UFT projects I have worked on ROI is always over 300% in the long term."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"For test automation, it helps to speed up the testing and to speed up the software delivery, especially for HPE UFT because you have lots of test automation tools."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy and straightforward."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"Automation of tests is done very fast with UFT One."
"The fact that UFT One covers multiple technologies helps in terms of end-to-end scenarios."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications, and it is very productive in terms of execution."
 

Cons

"Genymotion Cloud, in terms of cost, although it offers a lot of prerequisites for running Android applications within itself, could be improved regarding the pricing point of Genymotion Cloud instances."
"One definite drawback is Google services; we do not have Google Play services available out of the box, which is problematic."
"I believe Genymotion Cloud can be improved in uptime, cost, and performance possibilities."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Genymotion Cloud is great, although the pricing is much higher."
"Genymotion Cloud can be improved with better ARM native platform performance."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"Sometimes you need a little bit more, but then HP help us to find it as they're knowledgeable troubleshooters."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"HP has a policy that software updates for the QTP/UFT products are only available to licensed users with a service agreement. However this policy extends beyond version upgrades to software patches, and the problem this poses is that any potential customer that downloads the tool for use with a 30-day trial license must work with an unpatched version that is often less stable than the patched version in use by licensed long-term customers."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"In cases of longer tests (in forms of so-called Mega Scripts), there can be a seriously huge usage of virtual memory by UFT that can lead to SystemOutOfMemory exceptions which are showstoppers and a huge annoyance."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's price is high."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
