We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and OpenText UFT One 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 and even previous versions, which I've worked on, have good core functionality. The core functionality of being able to automate and build a solution that is local and low code is one of the key differentiators that's allowed us to find success."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."
"In 2018, we looked at some other products on the market, but Automation Anywhere was a perfect fit. We didn't have any issues that Automation Anywhere couldn't solve. The critical factor for us was its ease of use. We liked the drag-and-drop interface and the low-code capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transform data into clusters."
"With IQ Bot, we can now include cognitive automation into our process. The cognitive document processing is pretty good with IQ Bot."
"The biggest benefit of Automation Anywhere is that it makes our processes error-free. Accuracy is how you build efficiency within the system and increase productivity."
"Automation Anywhere is scalable and capable of adapting to any new requirements and technologies."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"Integration with secondary environments needs to be improved or enabled."
"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."
"I would like a couple more features where I can talk and the line comes up automatically. I can just put on a mic, like in "Ok Google". With "Ok Google", I can tell it to please open an Excel spreadsheet with the header read. If this is there, then I don't even need to sit on a computer, I can just dictate my commands and it will automatically come up."
"Sometimes, the recorder from Automation Anywhere does not work well and is inaccurate. This should be improved."
"The price has room for improvement."
"Queues are great but need improvement. They are helpful because most of the automations are transaction-based."
"IQ Bot should have an easier way to tag the document's source after extracting information from the document. (Which group does the document or a transaction belong to)."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
