Featured Reviews

Blaine Anderson - PeerSpot reviewer
Flow automation software that is user friendly for non technical teams and offers good value for money
If it is a business critical environment that needs to be up 99.999% of the time, LEAPWORK is the solution to go with because the ROI on it is good. We ended up using SmartBear because of how expensive LEAPWORK is. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Himanshu_Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Has significantly reduced regression cycle time and supports diverse automation needs
I have not used any AI-powered test prioritization with Worksoft Certify; they do not have any capability, only in version 14.5 did they start this capability. I have been using Business Capture for the last 10 years, so I know each and every product of this tool, including Capture 2.0. My opinion on Business Capture is that it depends on who is using it and the context behind it; if I were to use it, I would choose Certify Capture instead of Business Capture, as Business Capture is generally for business people or functional people. I have used the Continuous Testing Manager (CTM) with Worksoft Certify since the last two and a half years. Worksoft Certify performs very well in complex environments; I have worked with more than 30 or 40 customers using Worksoft, so I know it thoroughly. Worksoft Certify does not require any maintenance on my end; it runs smoothly. Even if I use an older version, it works properly, and only the higher versions get additional features. I would give the support a rating of nine on a scale from one to ten. I rate Worksoft Certify overall at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable of this solution is the no code option. It offers drag and drop when it comes to development and removes the need for a developer."
"It provides automated testing. Instead of us doing manual testing, we can utilize Leapwork, and it tests most of our critical processes. In the next phase, we also plan to do some process work with it, such as using Leapwork to create reports or provide certain extracts of data."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"LiveTouch is the best feature of Worksoft Certify; live touching the objects is very beneficial, and we can use the dynamic windows and objects."
"It is a huge improvement, as it recognizes complex general applications, where most tools won't recognize the objects within them."
"Worksoft Certify supports multiple interfaces and applications like SAP, Web, or Silverlight Java, and Mainframe. It is easily integrated."
"We are mainly using it for the SAP application, and for the SAP application, if you don't have any experience with automation tools, after a few training sessions, you can easily automate the scripts. That's because no specific programming language is used. All resources that I have are specifically SAP resources. They are not from the automation background, but after gaining the knowledge, they are able to develop a script, or when there is any issue while doing regression testing, they are at least able to understand the issue, such as whether the issue is in the code or data."
"For this SAP upgrade or implementation, the business users are creating building blocks in their areas, then they're changing the building blocks into long end-to-end scripts to do a complete end-to-end testing to speed up the UAT. It definitely has a bigger coverage of UAT testing."
"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature. I also found its automation feature valuable."
"The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers."
"With Worksoft, we have been able to automate six of our smoke tests in four months."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by offering better reporting related to the integration into Azure DevOps."
"The initial setup is difficult."
"The only thing that I don't like about the product is the need to deploy agents on the laptops of people doing the testing. So, you have an agent on a server, then you have an agent on the laptop of the person who is doing the testing, and that seems like a lot of stuff and a kind of anti-cloud. Why do I have to deploy agents on people's machines in order to do something in the cloud? I'm sure they're doing that so they can monitor their licensing and all that stuff, but it is not necessarily a friendly process."
"It is a very comprehensive tool, and there is a significant learning curve to being able to adopt the tool. Because it does so much, there is only so much that you can learn. You can, however, do some simpler things right away. They do have a kind of boot camp where some of their experts engage with you, and during that time, you can work on the top initiatives that you want to do, and that's a good process. After you start using the tool, there is a lot more that you would want to do."
"There have been some previous security concerns with the way that Capture has worked. When you turn it on, you don't know what it's capturing. This has raised some concerns in the past, especially in our European regions."
"For the couple of the issues that we were really scratching our heads over, we were in communication with the technical support several times, but they never got back to us."
"Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier."
"I would like the GUI to be more user-friendly and intuitive. We want to be able to move assets from project to another project without having to be in the same project or the same folder structure."
"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools. That integration is missing."
"When it is unstable, there will be times when a test that we are running in Certify will just stop, and it will say, "Aborted." There will be errors. There will be no explanation as to why it happens. It has now happened maybe one out of 20 times. When it happens, I just tell our QA team to stop Certify and restart it, hoping we don't see it again."
"There are some other more complete tools than Worksoft Certify, such as Tricentis Tosca. It has a quicker way of taking in a customer's feedback with more efficiency. I do not see Worksoft Certify having a lot of progress over the years that we have used the tool in this area."
"Based on my colleagues' feedback, there are still some minor issues concerning continuous testing, particularly related to the timeout feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a deal on it for the first year. We're paying $8,000."
"The product is not cheap."
"In general, they changed their license model. Before you had to buy licenses for each component, and now they changed it so you can buy a license and use it for nearly all their applications."
"We have an annual license for this solution. The product is very expensive."
"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."
"We saved $1.3 million using Worksoft Certify in 2017."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"We would purchase more licenses right now if they were cheaper. Pricing is a little bit of a hindrance."
"I don't have much idea about the pricing, but it is a licensed tool, and it is somewhat costly."
"We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
