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.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
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

"Cross browser testing and the ability to perform mobile test automation mean you do not need to buy two different solutions for mobile and web channels separately."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"It is a good tool to perform user interface testing over a .NET product."
"Support is very quick; you can write to them and on the same day they will respond, and this is one of the best features."
"We tried several, and we chose Ranorex for its ability to cover large amounts of testing with minimal coding."
"Easy to use - without any dev skills you can automate some nice things C# or VB.NET is used for development, and you can find a lot of information online Fast email support and a forum with several experienced users and Ranorex employees on it Online webinars to help you get started We can combine Ranorex with Jenkins and JIRA."
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."
"We have automated 15+ internal applications for our client, which reduced much manual effort on regression testing."
"The scripting methodology is easy to learn. It is easy to maintain because it is presented in a simple, narrative way. You don't need to know programming." "It has reduced our test maintenance time by more than 50 percent because we don't have to do manual test processes. We have saved over 150 man-hours monthly. It has increased our delivery times. We went from 200 man-hours down (three weeks work time frame) to approximately 40 man-hours (three days work time frame)."
"We save probably 50 percent of our time, the tool does what it's supposed to do, and we are able to actually work."
"The easy of use and ease of integration of Worksoft Certify are very good."
"The most valuable feature is its time saving, because once development is complete, the short time that it takes to execute a test is invaluable and saves a number of dollars and man-hours."
"Certify's web UI testing abilities for testing of modern applications like SAP Fiori was good when we started and they developed it to be even better. We all know that web applications can change objects in DOM quite fast and it breaks tests. To counter it Certify has made object recognition more flexible and generic, so we don't have any troubles."
"It is a fantastic tool."
"We are mainly using it for the SAP application, and for the SAP application, if you don't have any experience with automation tools, after a few training sessions, you can easily automate the scripts."
"It's script-free, which is really important for our end users because we are usually dealing with colleagues who are not developers and who do not always have the technical background of developing and scripting. It's very useful that there is a nice UI and the tool is script-free."
 

Cons

"More possibilities on mobile devices, as we have already encountered some problems with iFrames integrated in a web page."
"It needs a better connection to TFS."
"It would be nice to have a way to indicate the coverage of the tests of the application."
"Snapshots for WPF applications taking too long than expected."
"With the new version of Chrome, some objects are identified differently, so we need to identify those and fix the x-path of the object."
"I have proposed few suggestions to them in the product improvement area."
"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."
"They should have support for other OS’s, aside from only supporting Windows."
"Web UI testing was difficult in the beginning, as we had a homegrown product, and we had to do the proper object naming."
"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool."
"Scripts with a large number of lines have performance issues."
"I know that we did do some automation, what we call "bots," with Worksoft, and it was clunkier than some of the RPA tools that are currently on the market."
"One feature that we have been asking for has been to treat tests as code and store the source code for tests in a configuration management tool. Right now, for version control of testing, it's all internally within the tool. If we have a test of a business process and want to revive that test, our methodology now is purely manual work. We go into the tool, create a copy of the existing test, and call the next one: v2. Now, we have two of them and the only way you can tell them apart is by its naming convention."
"The stability is very bad. We have a lot of projects, which are run by our service integrators offshore in India."
"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me."
"For the web application, we are facing stability-related challenges because the properties are getting changed, and when the development team makes any backend changes, our Worksoft scripts are getting changed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"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)."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"I'm not aware of any licensing costs for Worksoft Certify."
"There is a cost involved to doing it, but once you get over the initial cost, then you'll start reaping the benefits and seeing that testing is getting done more quickly and efficiently. We are still early on with it, but the expectation and what we're seeing is that we will start seeing some savings coming out on the back-end once we have this done."
"This solution has enabled our clients to automate and save time (approximately 40 to 50 percent)."
"I can only judge based on the situation that we had around six years ago when we did the tool evaluation. Worksoft was not the cheapest, but it provided the value. For 25 concurrent licenses, we paid more than €400,000, so it was not cheap. In the end, if you see how much time you are saving and compare it with others, its price is okay. We had also compared its cost with the licensing costs for HP and Tricentis, and they were at another level. Now, as we have already booked the licenses, we only have to pay an annual maintenance fee, which is 70%, and that is okay."
"It saves us time: approximately 50 percent."
"We've saved over 80 percent in time savings."
"We have seen ROI by being able to free up and give time back to the business for other value-added work."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
