Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""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 product is easy to use.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""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.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Pros →

"What I found most valuable in Worksoft Certify is its identification feature. I also found its automation feature valuable.""Worksoft Certify Mostly is an easy-to-learn tool and does not require any extensive training.""The most valuable feature is the ability to automate quickly and to maintain and update scripts.""Worksoft has helped us position our company better because the product lets us show our value in terms of the benefits that we bring.""People focus on what they actually want to test and define it in a more detailed way. It shines a light on what they are testing, along with the speed and adaptability.""A specific feature that I found to be the most valuable in the solution for our company's work processes stems from the fact that it is useful as a low-code automation tool.""The ease of use is superior to anything on the market. It's very easy to integrate. We've been very impressed with the tool. Because we primarily use the configuration with SAP, the integration is pretty seamless. But we have used our own in-house VB app as well, and it's worked very well with that.""Our business users are doing regression testing as their day job. This is an add-on to their daily work. With everything so pressured in the industry, automation takes the pressure of these users."

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.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""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.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing.""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.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"It is very easy to use, but there are some places where they need to improve their security. E.g., the BPP tool is just a URL, which does not ask you for a username and password. Anyone can login and can see it.""Worksoft Certify's tech support's response time could be improved.""When it comes to mobile testing, we have a small bottleneck there. You have to buy third-party separate licenses if you want to test on a mobile. Business wise we see room for improvement there, although it's that really critical for us.""There was a change to Capture 2.0. In the end, there have been some challenges with the newer version. Therefore, the company testers, the local ones, do not want to use Capture 2.0.""One feature that could be added to Capture 2.0 is generating a PDF file from your capture, so you can see your screenshots and steps.""When it is unstable, there will be times when a test that we are running in Certify will just stop, and it will say, "Aborted." There will be errors. There will be no explanation as to why it happens. It has now happened maybe one out of 20 times. When it happens, I just tell our QA team to stop Certify and restart it, hoping we don't see it again.""The overall speed and performance of this solution could be improved. In a future release, it would be useful to be able to do API testing.""We can use it for the web application, but we are facing stability-related challenges. The properties are getting changed. For example, when I am performing any operation on the text box but the development team has done some changes, our Worksoft scripts are getting changed. This is the main challenge that we are facing while developing tests for the web application in Worksoft Certify, where any changes in the backend are indirectly impacting our scripts. For the web application, there is a scarcity of resources. Unlike an SAP application that doesn't require much experience, for the web application, you require experienced people."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
  • "The product could be more affordable."
  • "While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
  • More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
  • "We would purchase more licenses right now if they were cheaper. Pricing is a little bit of a hindrance."
  • "It is expensive compared to some of the other automation tools in the market. However, the benefits and ROI has proved that it has been a good investment."
  • "The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
  • "Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."
  • "We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
  • "We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
  • "By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jens N., Enterprise Architect SAP Solutions at a computer software company, writes, “As compared to other tools for test automation, what is very good in this tool is the ability to implement logic into the scripts without coding and learning a complex script language. It is comparable to defining formulas in Excel. It is pretty easy to learn how to make your scripts more intelligent and more flexible as per the situation.”
