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 feature of this solution is virtualization.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time.""The product is easy to use.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."

"The solution has plenty of features that are useful.""It works beautifully. I haven't had any errors.""It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously.""Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days.""The queue management of the solution is its most valuable aspect.""A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience.""Intuitive to work with and the overall fundamental of the platform is very strong.""Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."

Cons
"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"There is always room for improvement. It can be hard to learn, but when you have somebody who is experienced in this, it is like anything else. It is like Excel, you'll never know everything about Excel, but there's somebody who would possibly know. I'm sure I don't know all of the ins and outs of Salesforce.""What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement.""There's a learning curve. It was a bit hard to understand the logical way of working with it, just at the beginning.""I would like to have integration with Google.""The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together.""Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference.""Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great.""Salesforce Platform could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure. For development, we use Microsoft Azure and there was proper integration between the two solutions. We had issues with the customer and they were logged into the Salesforce Platform. We did not have any good way of integrating those issues into the R&D. The R&D mainly uses Microsoft Azure."

  • More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
  • "Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
  • "It is an expensive program."
