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."Automation Anywhere is stellar and the pre-built bots on the bot store help reduce the development time and effort. The IQ Bot solution can read from scanned images and documents which has hugely benefited the mortgage processing team."
"With Automation Anywhere, what used to take us two days now takes us twenty minutes."
"The integrations of Automation Anywhere with the mainframe application for banking companies are among the most valuable features... we were able to create very good solutions integrated with that kind of platform using Automation Anywhere."
"The code automation platform is the most valuable feature."
"The bots we implement free up our time that we spent doing manual processing for other progressive purposes."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"We have hundreds of cases a day. There were around two to three employees who were just moving a case from one state to another. This was a repetitive, tedious job, which was frustrating for the employees. It helps to have the bot doing this work now. We have immediately seen effects, so this is a good use for it."
"The customer engagement is really deep, and they work with the “gemba”. They work with operations very closely. I also believe they have a good product roadmap."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"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 solution has a very nice interface."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Selenium integration."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"There should be a meeting between the Automation Anywhere team and the end-users to understand whether the process can be made to work on the first attempt."
"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."
"I would like to see more complex use cases coming out for our industry."
"We tried Citrix six months ago, but the solution that they gave us did not work in our environment."
"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful."
"We have a challenge in our front office automation where capturing details from a table within a table does not happen in the existing AA Enterprise client version 11.3.4. The AA team tries various methods like using an Excel spreadsheet to capture the tables."
"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."
"Especially while using v11, I often experience freezes with OCR extraction from PDF files."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
