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.

Helps applications to be compatible with other devices
The tool has connectivity issues. I had raised the issue with the support team who had asked me to check my internet connection and refresh the browser. I want that communication to be present at a UI level. I want a pop-up that asks users to refresh the page or check their internet connection. The product's reports also need to be optimized and refined to be presented in a better way. The tool needs to add a search option that will help users filter and extract the information that they need.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The process has helped my organization greatly reduce time and cost when it comes to testing a new project."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"Since I started, we invested in UFT and automation and we have significantly reduced our release cycle time."
"It is a stable solution."
"At our company, we have everything from mainframe to modern web UI, and UFT allows us to test all of those sites."
"The solution is in the top list for automatic functional testing."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"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."
"The product is also very good on the UI level where they can see the logs and discover any problem at the app level, so that the development team can fix that."
"The product is very good on the UI level."
"The product is user-friendly. We can see the logs when we find the bugs."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory."
"Scalability can be high, but there are things that work against it. You're bound by the licensing structure, so in order to get bigger benefits, you have to have multiple copies, and that costs a ton of money."
"Prior to the past three years, we saw a lot of issues with stability and a lot of patching and concern from our internal customers that they couldn't rely on the tool to always be there when they needed it."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"It often crashes."
"I’d like to see them improve the number of objects recognized without customization, similar to TestComplete by SmartBear."
"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."
"Previously, the product was a script-based solution. Presently, the tool offers non-script, no-code, or low-code functionalities, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The connectivity is always a challenge. We have to maintain a certain bandwidth at our end to connect the tool and that can be a problem."
"The tool has connectivity issues. I had raised the issue with the support team who had asked me to check my internet connection and refresh the browser. I want that communication to be present at a UI level. I want a pop-up that asks users to refresh the page or check their internet connection. The product's reports also need to be optimized and refined to be presented in a better way. The tool needs to add a search option that will help users filter and extract the information that they need."
"The connectivity is always a challenge for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"The tool's price is high."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"I would rate the tool's pricing a six-point five out of ten. It is neither too low nor high. The product has different packages like gold, silver, and platinum. The number of users is determined on the basis of the package. My company has subscribed for the product's annual plan."
