Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.""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.""Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

Cons
"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""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.""Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it.""There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman.""I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."
