Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution is stable.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface.""I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

It's probably the best software development tool on the market.""The solution is very stable."

Cons
"The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it.""I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis.""We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

More Ranorex Studio Cons →

"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it.""The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier.""The product must provide more automation.""The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use.""The product must provide more integration.""Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey.""Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability.""It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
