JG
Manager of Central Excellence at Alpura
Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles
The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.
SK
Senior Solutions Architect at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Integrates well and supports end-to-end workflows with API integration
I deal with various tools including UiPath Test Cloud, Sauce Labs, Postman, and the latest feature, Copilot, so I use everything. A lot of tools are involved. There is a significant difference between Sauce Labs and UiPath Test Cloud; while Sauce Labs offers automation capabilities, the differentiating factor is test coverage. UiPath Test Cloud hits a higher percentage of test cases per lines of code, which means it may cover 7,000 lines in automated tests from 10,000, as opposed to 3,000-4,000 lines with Sauce Labs in a similar scenario. Sauce Labs is less expensive than some of the other tools, and while UiPath Test Cloud has become much better and easier to use than in the past, Sauce Labs was initially user-friendly, but now UiPath Test Cloud has improved significantly from its earlier, more complicated interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scripting is the most valuable. We are able to record and then go in and modify the script that it creates. It has a lot of generative scripts."
"The OCR recognition is great, way over Sikulix or Robot Framework."
"The Silk4J feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is a fine product; it is a powerful tool, and it needs commitment."
"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting, as you get a single frame of reporting across all the various tests and the program is very user-friendly."
"Not many performance Testing tool provides end to end response times for scripts running on the page, this tool is capable of providing end to end real time browser response times."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."
"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."
"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."
"UiPath Test Cloud definitely helps free up time for other projects for our engineers."
"It is feature-rich. It has more features than other RPA tools."
"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."
"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."
"Its automated execution when a different package changes and using different test cases defined in an Excel file are particularly useful."
"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."
"Test Manager is helpful for tracking process steps. We can see which step is failing."
 

Cons

"The browser based testing needs to be improved."
"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."
"Implementing a better integration with Git. It was extremely painful to implement the link from Silk Central to Git."
"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."
"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help."
"The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive. That is something that can improve."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex if you're deploying on-prem."
"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."
"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility."
"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."
"UiPath could further enhance its functionality by simplifying the test case creation process within Test Suite."
"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability."
"The product releases sometimes have issues."
"The speed could be improved. I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
"I consider it expensive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. It's priced per license on an annual basis. Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
