Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Worksoft Certify and Ranorex Studio are strong competitors in the automation testing tools market. Worksoft Certify appears to have an advantage in ERP automation, especially for SAP, while Ranorex Studio stands out for its robust UI recognition and cross-platform capabilities.

Features: Worksoft Certify offers lights-out testing, supports a variety of ERP systems including SAP, and is a no-code platform suitable for users lacking programming skills. It integrates with various applications using Capture 2.0 for effective process documentation. Ranorex Studio excels in UI recognition, offers scripting flexibility with C#, and supports cross-browser and mobile testing with ease. Its seamless integration with third-party tools and strong module support enhances its automation capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Worksoft Certify has challenges with complex upgrades, lacks web application support, and its UI could be more intuitive. Other issues include database management and limited report customization. Ranorex Studio's limitations include multi-OS support beyond Windows and insufficient modular capabilities for concurrent tests. Its UI is somewhat outdated, integration with Angular can be tricky, and users seek better API documentation and language support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Worksoft Certify is mainly used in on-premises and hybrid environments. While customer service is positively noted, there can be slow response times from technical support. Ranorex Studio is adaptable for both private and public cloud setups, praised for its responsive customer service, though support quality may vary with different representatives.

Pricing and ROI: Worksoft Certify is pricier, reflecting its value in large ERP deployments like SAP, offering significant ROI through reduced manual testing time. Smaller setups may find its costs less feasible, leading to calls for more flexible licensing. Ranorex Studio, similarly expensive, provides cost-effectiveness for smaller teams due to its floating licenses, with ROI driven by its extensive feature set covering diverse testing requirements.

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 Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Has significantly reduced regression cycle time and supports diverse automation needs

I have not used any AI-powered test prioritization with Worksoft Certify; they do not have any capability, only in version 14.5 did they start this capability. I have been using Business Capture for the last 10 years, so I know each and every product of this tool, including Capture 2.0. My opinion on Business Capture is that it depends on who is using it and the context behind it; if I were to use it, I would choose Certify Capture instead of Business Capture, as Business Capture is generally for business people or functional people. I have used the Continuous Testing Manager (CTM) with Worksoft Certify since the last two and a half years. Worksoft Certify performs very well in complex environments; I have worked with more than 30 or 40 customers using Worksoft, so I know it thoroughly. Worksoft Certify does not require any maintenance on my end; it runs smoothly. Even if I use an older version, it works properly, and only the higher versions get additional features. I would give the support a rating of nine on a scale from one to ten. I rate Worksoft Certify overall at a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"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."

"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"It is a lot easier to maintain test scripts on Worksoft Certify than on other testing tools that we have had in the past."

"With Worksoft, we have been able to automate six of our smoke tests in four months."

"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."

"With autotesting, we have been able to eliminate duplication of test cases across those four areas. This has helped us knock down our number of test cases. Our test cases are also running more optimally. Therefore, it has very much helped in that sense, so we were able to eliminate a lot of test cases and get out of manual silos by running on autotesting, which is more efficient."

"We prefer Worksoft over other platforms because it's a low-code solution"

"We are now trying to automate all our applications: SAP, web, third-party, and legacy. Instead of multiple tools, we have been able to have Worksoft handle a lot of our applications. This has saved us a lot of time and effort."

"We're getting good value from continuous testing management, and the fact that it's also codeless is valuable."

"Improvement means for us that we have to be better in quality. Due to automation, you can run every automated test case twice a week. If you do it manually, you do it once per release. This is a quality improvement."

More Worksoft Certify pros

Cons

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."

"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"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."

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."

"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"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."

"The updates for SAP Fiori have been great, where previously we saw a lot of issues. A year ago, it used to fail miserably."

"When automating procedures in web applications with Worksoft Certify, we mostly face object and Windows issues. It would be better if Worksoft Certify fixes this issue."

"What could be improved in Worksoft Certify is its integration with other tools, for example, test management tools such as Jira, ALM, or any other test management tools. That integration is missing."

"For Execution Manager, I would like it to be more robust interface and be able to view the remote machines full screen instead of a little window."

"Worksoft Certify needs improvement on customization of reporting and how you report final outcomes."

"Worksoft Certify needs a bit of improvement for its web-based processes. It can be difficult because you need to recall the maps, then you still have to add-on for your browser. When you are using the browser-based testing, you cannot even move your mouse or do anything on your system when you are using the web-based testing. Therefore, it needs a bit of improvement on that side. While it does work, it needs improvement. From the SAP side, there is nothing better than Worksoft Certify. However, from the web-based, we are moving towards Fiori. SAP will soon be totally web-based. For Fiori, they need to be great with SAP testing. Thus, Worksoft has to improve the web-based testing part for Certify."

"There have been some previous security concerns with the way that Capture has worked. When you turn it on, you don't know what it's capturing. This has raised some concerns in the past, especially in our European regions."

More Worksoft Certify cons

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)."

"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."

"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."

"On our last big SAP implementation project, we inserted an automation resource into the beginning of the project. Between automating regression processes, data staging, and using our automation to help repair cutover and conversion issues. We saved the project about $1,700,000."

"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."

"I think they came out with a different type of licensing specifically for testing. Therefore, you don't have to use a more expensive user license, you can use an automation license. So potentially, if we had 100 use cases, we could spin up a 100 different machines, have them all run and be done in five minutes. That would be the goal, but I don't know if that would actually succeed or not."

"Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."

"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."

"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."

"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."

"In general, they changed their license model. Before you had to buy licenses for each component, and now they changed it so you can buy a license and use it for nearly all their applications."
