Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""Object identification is good.""The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""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.""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.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

Cons
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""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.""When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too.""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""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.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work.""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."
