Prakhar Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Test Lead at Emerson
Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"TestComplete is much more flexible, light, and easy to use."
"Good test coverage through automation and provides unique solutions to most of the automation challenges (e.g. comparison of images)."
"Technical support is excellent, and if you reach out to them, they will get back to you within 24 hours."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE."
"If a user is testing behavioral actions, then SmartBear is a very good product to go to."
"Object spy and object recognition are working very well, giving us a lot of possibilities."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"When it comes to customization controls the scalability of SmartBear TestComplete is limited."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"The level of technical support leaves a lot to be desired."
"Technical Support: Not so helpful most of the times. They always fail to produce a work around."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"The initial deployment of TestComplete was difficult, but with the assistance of SmartBear technical support, I was able to get it up and running."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"Our ROI is about $10,000 a year."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
"Overall, for us, the cost of the TestComplete platform and the three extra modules is around $8,000."
