Pros
"The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""The product is easy to use.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""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 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 most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process.""The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

Cons
"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"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.""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.""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).""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.""The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""The solution does not support dual or regression testing.""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."
