Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution.""The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy.""Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well.""You can record your actions and play them back later.""The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup.""The solution is mainly stable."

"It's useful for automating tasks.""Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable.""It is a very scalable product.""UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications.""The detailed logging is invaluable.""Our team used to require five to six days to complete the entire release or execution cycle. Now, we're able to complete it within just one or one and a half days.""It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels.""We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."

Cons
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult.""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.""Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage.""TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services.""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.""Product is not stable enough and it crashes often.""Right now, the product only supports Windows.""It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."

More SmartBear TestComplete Cons →

"We are facing problems specifically with Desk Manager.""Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand.""The product releases sometimes have issues.""Our primary application is built on Windows, so we've faced no significant challenges. However, I think mobile automation is one area where the solution still needs some work.""The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better.""We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks.""The test manager component could be improved.""Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product is becoming more and more expensive."
  • "My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
  • "The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
  • "Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
  • "TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
  • "This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
  • "The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
  • "The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."
  • More SmartBear TestComplete Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
  • "When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
  • "I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
  • "I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
  • "One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
  • "It represents good value for the investment."
  • "Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
  • "I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."

    Questions from the Community

    Top Answer:It's comparable to other similar tools, perhaps a bit less expensive than some of its competitors. So, the pricing is pretty reasonable.
    Top Answer:Headless testing would be a big improvement. For example, when we run our regression suite, we need to start a virtual machine and run the tests interactively. There isn't a way to run the tests… more »
    Top Answer:Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable.
    Top Answer:I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost.
    Top Answer:We have output arguments in the workflow. We are able to check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a… more »

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”

    Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them."
