We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."
"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."
"From a manageability perspective, this solution is very good."
"It lets users add value with their time other than focusing on downloading Excel files, consolidating, and drawing up formulas. Since everything is structured, these easily are incorporated into the bot's work."
"The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"A project that we automated: A person used to spend about eight to twelve hours every week to finish the process. The bot finishes it in half an hour. Now, the person just reviews it, then passes along the information. This has helped our organization because originally EMEA and APAC would not receive the files the same day that they were processed. But because the bot only takes a half an hour, everyone can now receive the files on the same day."
"By implementing processes using Automation Anywhere, we can save up to 3,000 euros within two weeks of development."
"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"For the short term, in this pandemic era, they should have a feature to write and save directly into Word documents, Office 365, or Google Docs."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"The mobile application can be improved by adding more functions and capabilities abuse right now, only a few features are enabled for mobile users."
"AI would enable improved automation and faster training times that would be reduced from one month to one week."
"There is an issue with security where users can see the values in the credential vault."
"The solution should include an analytics dashboard. As the space is maturing, many vendors sell functionalities as separate components so this is not unique to the solution."
"We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team."
"We're in a digital world where everything's evolving. AI is coming out, so just looking at keeping moving, introducing new innovations into the product, nothing specific. The Automation Anywhere teams seem to know what the customers want."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The integration tools could be better."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
