Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution helps with recording and documentation.""Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format.""Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing.""The most valuable feature is the ability to copy the scenarios and as we do a rollout we can efficiently complete test three and put it somewhere else under a new subsidiary.""The initial setup was not complex and the product itself is very easy to configure and use.""It is easy for business users to use who are not familiar with testing tools.""The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult.""Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies.""The product enables codeless automation.""The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package.""The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation.""One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal.""As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding.""With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

Cons
"Support is reactive and in English only.""The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install.""They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great.""Nothing is automatic.""It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories and we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we have a network connection."

More Panaya Test Dynamix Cons →

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution.""I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories.""Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved.""The solution is expensive.""The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint.""It needs better integration with JIRA.""I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high.""I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is rather expensive due to the security it has to offer."
  • "It is expensive. Because of its cost, we couldn't deploy Panaya to a large extent. Its licensing should be improved, and there should be more license types. There should be an advanced license and a basic license."
  • More Panaya Test Dynamix Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
  • "Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
  • "The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
  • "We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
  • "Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
  • "We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
  • "My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
  • "I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."

    @Jesús Antonio Santos Giraldo; both companies deliver excellent tools & services. It's going to come down to your use cases. 



    If you choose the wrong tool for your use case the risks are: Loss of  time, money and opportunities. That's not going to be the tool's fault. 



    Tips that may help you in deciding: 


    - Use your current tools / last tools as benchmark to determine your future needs. 


    - Ask questions, here are a few to get you started:  


    -- What are your requirements? 


    -- Pros and cons of our current tools. 


    -- How much time do you want to spend developing and maintaining test scripts (assuming you want to automate) 


    --Who will work with the tool? 


    -- What do they have to say about their experience with current / past tools?


    - Build a matrix based on feedback received, decide which points really matter in your matrix. 


    - Inform your org of the research you've done and ask for more input


    - Go with a few key folks  who work with / worked with the tools you are targeting and have a meeting with Tricentis / Panaya.  


    - Tell your story and ask how their tool can meet your need.


    - Go back to your leadership and share what you learned, 


    - See if you can get a trial from the toolmakers. ;-) and try out a real world test. 


    - Make a documented decision on why tool X and not tool Y
