Visual Studio Test Professional's support is well-rated for responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, and helpful resources, despite navigation challenges.
They get into the meeting, understand the problem, and try to provide a solution quickly.
Support should be free, especially for product-related issues.
I would rate UiPath's support neutrally at a five.
Sometimes, the documentation is not readable, being too long or too detailed and not connected to my problem.

Sentiment score
7.9
Visual Studio Test Professional is generally stable, with updates enhancing reliability, though occasional performance issues are reported.
UiPath Test Suite has matured over the years and is now quite stable.
It is performing better than two to three years back; significant improvements have been made for complete project delivery.
 

Room For Improvement

Enhancements are needed in mobile automation, integration, reporting, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness for improved UiPath Test Cloud workflows.
Visual Studio Test Professional needs improved performance, integration, usability, compatibility, and support for automation and web application testing.
If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely.
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
Sometimes, the library version is not compatible with other libraries, causing errors in my application.
The product needs contextual help integrated within its interface.
The Git extensions are very basic and can be more extensive compared to other software focused on Git, like GitTower or SmartGit.
 

Setup Cost

UiPath Test Cloud is seen as valuable yet costly, with prices perceived higher than competitors but justified by features.
Visual Studio Test Professional is costly but offers competitive value, priced at $52 monthly per user, with multi-user discounts.
Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.
The price is expensive.
 

Valuable Features

UiPath Test Cloud integrates with tools, offers low-code, customized tests, AI features, and saves costs on testing processes.
Visual Studio Test Professional excels in code testing, user interface, integration, debugging, and scalability for efficient software development.
The ability of the test suite to automate tests across a wide range of technologies is great since UiPath's background in RPA is specifically designed to automate basically any and all technologies.
Some of the best features I find with UiPath Test Cloud include the creation of end-to-end workflows with API integration.
The most valuable feature of UiPath Test Cloud that I have found is the TestManager dashboard, which integrates with Jira through Planview Tasktop.
It supports cross-platform functionality.
Visual Studio Test Professional is highly valuable because it provides extensive extensions and plugins that assist in measuring code quality.

Featured Reviews

Manigandan Rajavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings
I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.
