Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test.""This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation.""The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high.""The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great.""The initial setup is relatively easy."

More OpenText UFT One Pros →

"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature.""It's a very simple solution to use.""SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""The solution offers excellent integration capabilities.""The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others.""The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application.""The interface is user-friendly."

More ReadyAPI Test Pros →

"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work.""Customization is the most powerful feature of this product.""The user interface is very friendly.""One of the best documentation in the world.""The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems.""Performance-wise, it is a great tool.""We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available.""The setup is easy and straightforward."

Cons
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources.""Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient.""The solution is expensive.""I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications.""The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded.""The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this.""Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."

More OpenText UFT One Cons →

"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts.""Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy.""I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it.""SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs.""SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards.""I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."

More ReadyAPI Test Cons →

"The data flow can be improved.""Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine.""Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved.""The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user.""I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options.""The pricing of this solution should be lowered.""Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly.""The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
  • More OpenText UFT One Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is not that bad."
  • "I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
  • "My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
  • "The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
  • "We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
  • "SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
  • "ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
  • "It is free of charge."
  • More ReadyAPI Test Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For the cloud services option, you buy a subscription per account or per user. This costs around $52 a month per person."
  • "I think that the pricing is quite good."
  • "The pricing is expensive."
  • "We pay for the solution annually and the price could be reduced."
  • "There is a paid version of the solution as well as a community version that is free."
  • "Visual Studio Test Professional is a very expensive solution."
  • "The tool is expensive in my region."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional, which is expensive."
