We performed a comparison between Ranorex Studio and Visual Studio Test Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."
"Object identification is good."
"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"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 whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The setup is easy and straightforward."
"It is a very common and strong product. A lot of support is available for this product."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."

"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."

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."
"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."
"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."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."

"We would like to be able to easily integrate this solution with our continuous integration tools, such as Jenkins."
