We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel.""We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution.""The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent.""With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files.""Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate.""The initial setup is relatively easy.""I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications.""On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."

"The function test feature is valuable.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder.""It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training.""If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."

Cons
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts.""The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java.""The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources.""The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded.""I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications.""We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes.""I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."

More OpenText UFT One Cons →

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite Cons →

"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps.""I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface.""Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."

  • "ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
  • "The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

  • "Once it starts generating ROI, which for us took between three and six months, one will not even think about the investment."
