Featured Reviews

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.

Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI right away."
"It's improved our company in a numbers of ways, but most importantly it helps us save time and the report preparation is nice and easy."
"With a small team of one onshore person and three offshore people, I was able to show the value of $90,000 savings for a project as a POC and the customer is currently using this tool for several other projects in their organization after seeing the ROI for one project."
"Dynamically changing application or a desktop application which is challenging to automate, blindly go for Ranorex."
"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."
"The most valuable features of this solution are object recognition and the fact that you can memorize the objects."
"It is a fantastic tool."
"Before Worksoft Certify, we needed almost two weeks or more of regression testing to move our changes from regression to production, and after the implementation of Worksoft Certify, we went from two weeks and 200 man-hours to three days of testing, saving more than 10,000 euros and increasing our scope, test coverage, and reducing issues."
"The Capture 2.0 feature is very intuitive, useful, and user-friendly. You can do so much with it now, versus the older version."
"With Worksoft, we have been able to automate six of our smoke tests in four months."
"It is highly scalable and reusable. It is easy for team members to maintain and use with confidence. There is great versatility."
"We found that Worksoft is easier to use because our business experts can do the tests. We didn't have to have IT experts."
"It is very easy to maintain. With scripts, I can change one line and in one step. Whatever I want, I can do. I don't need to be an expert to use it."
"The typical range that we see is between 50 to 90 percent improvement in speed capabilities."
 

Cons

"Their logs are not compatible with the continuous integration we use internally."
"I have proposed few suggestions to them in the product improvement area."
"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."
"Running the tool in a distributed environment was a challenge since Ranorex requires an active user session."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."
"While the product does well with its primary job of testing, when we are using Ranorex it would be nice if it would report directly in HTML."
"The solution has good quality and functionality but I would not recommend it because of its unfamiliarity in the market."
"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."
"Pricing is a bit high and we would like to have the availability of a trail environment for beginners and training would be great to have and easier to expand and use by more and more consultants."
"I chose seven out of ten because, while Worksoft Certify is strong in SAP automation and end-to-end business process testing, there are a few areas where I experience limitations in day-to-day usage."
"Although I don't think it would be easy, being able to edit and change an action and logic flow in mid-test execution would be nice."
"On the Capture 2.0 topic, we were not satisfied, because we had a version that wasn't really tested from my perspective."
"We have had run ins with some bugs on Business Process Procedure (BPP) and Execution Manager."
"If any AI-powered features are included, that would be great. We've already seen the beginning of self-healing capabilities, but additional integrations with AI would be beneficial."
"Worksoft Certify's support team should respond more promptly when we are stuck with certain issues and looking for a solution."
"They need to keep working on the mobile interface, the API part, and they need to improve more on web applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"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."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It is costly. It is a bit more expensive than Tricentis Tosca and other tools. If they reduce its price going forward and have partnerships with other vendors, it will grow like anything."
"The price is in line with everyone else's in the market. They are not cheaper nor more expensive than anyone else who was in our RFP."
"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."
"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."
"We saved $1.3 million using Worksoft Certify in 2017."
"I don't have much idea about the pricing, but it is a licensed tool, and it is somewhat costly."
"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."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Worksoft Certify."
