Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does.""We find the solution stable and scalable.""It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."

More Eggplant Performance Pros →

"It's an easy platform for salespeople to quickly and efficiently be able to track an opportunity.""It was pretty easy to deploy.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is the unit coordination between sales and marketing when it comes to lead management.""It is a platform that allows you to get applications quickly to the end user in a secure way.""The standard sales and marketing tools that Salesforce provides on the platform are the most valuable.""Salesforce is the best one out there.""I love the report building that is available.""The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."

Cons
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs.""Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."

More Eggplant Performance Cons →

"Their reporting needs to be improved. It should be easier. I don't know how, but it needs to be easier.""Salesforce is incredibly slow. It was difficult to run live sales calls and leveraging Salesforce at the same time.""I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search.""If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out.""Integration needs improvement.""In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work.""Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave.""When it switched to lightning, it threw me for a loop. When they changed the look and feel, I had a hard time finding things and doing what I used to do."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
  • "The pricing is competitive in India."
  • More Eggplant Performance Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Costly, but it is the top product in SaaS/PaaS. Pricing is more for large to enterprise level companies."
  • "Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
  • "It is an expensive program."
  • "The licensing is per user per month, which we took out a contract on a long time back. It's really an okay price for what solutions are available and for how many features and what kind of functionality you get."
  • "The solution is a bit expensive."
  • "It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
  • "It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
  • "It is expensive."
