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

"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."
"The major thing it has helped with is to reduce the workload on testing activities."
"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."
"The statistics that are available are very good."
"It speeds up testing efforts."
"With the help of SilkTest we've automated a bunch of routine regression tests, thus we saved our testing team weeks of testing time."
"A good automation tool that supports SAP functional testing."
"The OCR recognition is great, way over Sikulix or Robot Framework."
"What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities."
"UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed."
"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."
"Some of the best features I find with UiPath Test Cloud include the creation of end-to-end workflows with API integration, which was particularly useful for my use case, allowing me to connect APIs seamlessly within the defined workflows in UiPath."
"We also don't develop test robots like typing codes; we program them with drag-and-drop features."
"Test Manager is helpful for tracking process steps. We can see which step is failing."
"It is feature-rich. It has more features than other RPA tools."
"The detailed logging is invaluable."
 

Cons

"At that time, we never had good technical support in Bangalore."
"The browser based testing needs to be improved."
"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."
"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Could be more user-friendly on the installation and configuration side."
"I've seen a lot of potential users upset with the SilkTest due to broken installation."
"The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive. That is something that can improve."
"It would be very beneficial to do load testing with Test Suite."
"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."
"The initial setup of UiPath Test Cloud is a mixed bag; while setting up the tool is easy, building the tests is always tedious."
"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."
"They can improve the dashboard by adding some widgets for reporting. Also, currently, they don't have defect management modules."
"More precise logging would be appreciated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility. Many companies use test automation as an alternative to Selenium but need to develop a fully functional bot in UiPath to test on it, which is inefficient."
"We are able to automate most tasks by using UiPath. Its interface is fine. However, its price is a bit high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"Its price is a bit high."
"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."
"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."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
