Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.""Object identification is good.""The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

Cons
"We would also like to manage the integration testing end-to-end."

More OpenText Silk Central Cons →

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good.""We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier.""If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it.""The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work.""There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman.""The solution's technical support team could be responsive."
