Testing solution supports Java testing with good reliability
There is nothing you can do for almost every application. If you do it for a single version, it is rather easy. However, if you want to run it for different versions of the software, then you need the Qt version of Java. You need to set up some special environment variables to be able to do that.
Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Stable automation suites; it is cheaper than most of other vendor automation tools, it supports a wide range of tool-kits, even embedded solutions, one tool for all your products."
"Stable automation framework with its own object library enabled us to move all of the tests to a Continuous Integration farm."
"The most important part is that it allows me to create black box tests faster and easier."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"Squish data-driven testing is very powerful and we can easily check for bulk and huge data without any issues."
"It supports many platforms, which helps in getting automation solutions for most of the complex UI products."
"Squish saved our time and money by creating reusable operating system independent test scripts."
"This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them on Windows or Mac."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"Customer Service: Ranorex’s customer service is outstanding."
"The solution is stable."
"I’ve always found their support second to none, with responses to my questions answered promptly and technical staff who are extremely technical, which is refreshing given the generally basic support previously experienced from other vendors."
"Using this product, we have been able create and manage UI automation in the best possible way."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"Ranorex Spy is the most valuable feature for us, as it provides functionalities for analysis of host or web applications, as well as information for test automation."
"Object identification is good."
 

Cons

"The platform could be improved by implementing some basic functionalities that are frequently used, such as login procedures and screen handling when multiple screens are used at the workplace."
"There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package."
"We have faced some difficulties in identifying canvas objects initially."
"The price could be better."
"Robotics automation could be added with Squish."
"As things stand, continuous integration is very poor, and when you work in production you need many more settings in order to tune it, to be a Web user interface, for example, which is currently impossible."
"You need to set up some special environment variables."
"Anyhow, we can't automate the applications which are completely built on C/C++ without using Qt."
"Any minor change to a repository can result in a version control system nightmare, making it more difficult when working in teams."
"I would like it to be more intuitive to use, especially in test management."
"I would like to see Ranorex come up with a load balancing tool for test execution."
"The stability is in the range of eighty-five percent of what I was expecting. We still have some issues."
"It needs a better connection to TFS."
"Support for Mac and Linux would be handy, it supports only Windows"
"Their logs are not compatible with the continuous integration we use internally."
"They should have support for other OS’s, aside from only supporting Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The platform is highly-priced."
"The price could be better. I believe each developer license costs about 6000 or 7000 Euros per year."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
