We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface.""The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization.""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.""Data security was prime for us. 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.""Object identification is good."

"Certify integrates with other tools and it works very well with other machine testing applications.""The most valuable feature is the ability to automate quickly and to maintain and update scripts.""The tool itself is highly effective, especially when it comes to comprehensibility for newcomers.""It's very different versus other tools in the past, which were not very modern. It easy for people to automate.""Provides all the in-built functionalities and is a wonderful tool.""It's script-free, which is really important for our end users because we are usually dealing with colleagues who are not developers and who do not always have the technical background of developing and scripting. It's very useful that there is a nice UI and the tool is script-free.""We love the Capture 2.0 feature. It seems to work very well.""The Capture 2.0 feature is good. Our clients like using it. It does not take long to create documentation."

Cons
"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""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.""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.""The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""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.""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.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

More Ranorex Studio Cons →

"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy.""We can use it for the web application, but we are facing stability-related challenges. The properties are getting changed. For example, when I am performing any operation on the text box but the development team has done some changes, our Worksoft scripts are getting changed. This is the main challenge that we are facing while developing tests for the web application in Worksoft Certify, where any changes in the backend are indirectly impacting our scripts. For the web application, there is a scarcity of resources. Unlike an SAP application that doesn't require much experience, for the web application, you require experienced people.""The updates for SAP Fiori have been great, where previously we saw a lot of issues. A year ago, it used to fail miserably.""The product had some UI issues.""It is very easy to use, but there are some places where they need to improve their security. E.g., the BPP tool is just a URL, which does not ask you for a username and password. Anyone can login and can see it.""Pricing is a bit high and we would like to have the availability of a trail environment for beginners and training would be great to have and easier to expand and use by more and more consultants.""Reportings are not user-friendly.""As part of our weekly regression, we wanted to use Execution Manager. However, from 2017 until March 2021, Execution Manager was not working as expected in our enrollment. It could have been better. If Execution Manager had worked well, then we could have doubled our productivity. Unfortunately, it had problems."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
  • "The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
  • "There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
  • "Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
  • "Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
  • "This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
  • More Ranorex Studio Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
  • "We would purchase more licenses right now if they were cheaper. Pricing is a little bit of a hindrance."
  • "It is expensive compared to some of the other automation tools in the market. However, the benefits and ROI has proved that it has been a good investment."
  • "The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
  • "Our ROI is primarily a reduction in testing time. The testing, when we were doing it manually, was 30 to 40 percent of the project's cost."
  • "We ended up buying too many licenses. They were very good at selling it to us, and probably oversold it a little. We bought 45 licenses and have never used more than twenty. However, they gave us a pretty significant discount on the bigger license, so it made sense for us to buy enough that we wouldn't have to go back and ask for more."
  • "We could use Certify to do robotic process automation, which is basically running a process on your correction system instead of your test system. Therefore, we may do that in the future."
  • "By using automation, it reduced about 75 percent of the time when compared to any other tool."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jens N., Enterprise Architect SAP Solutions at a computer software company, writes, “As compared to other tools for test automation, what is very good in this tool is the ability to implement logic into the scripts without coding and learning a complex script language. It is comparable to defining formulas in Excel. It is pretty easy to learn how to make your scripts more intelligent and more flexible as per the situation.”
