The ability to create test scripts with the flexibility to run them as a whole or as individual test steps within the script. This greatly reduces the amount of time spent creating test scripts.
Ranorex Studio Review
The ability to create test scripts with the flexibility to run them as a whole or as individual test steps within the script is valuable, but the UI can be quirky at times.
Valuable Features
Improvements to My Organization
With completed test automation suites we have greatly reduced the amount of time spent manually regression testing after each software release.
Room for Improvement
The only real complaints I would have would be a bit of quirkiness in the UI at times, but no application is perfect.
Use of Solution
I have used it for about five years.
Deployment Issues
No issues encountered.
Stability Issues
No issues encountered.
Scalability Issues
No issues encountered.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer Service:
Ranorex customer service has been prompt the couple of times I have contacted them. There was one instance where I had an issue and contacted them for a solution they were unable to provide it, and I ended up finding a work around on my own. The Ranorex user blog is al helpful platform.
Technical Support:
Initial Setup
The initial set-up is very basic, download the executable and run it just like most other programs.
Implementation Team
We implemented the product in-house. The only tricky part is if using their floating license option, the configurations need to be set up across the network. My current organization is small so we experienced no issues. Implementing on a much larger scale could be a bit tricky.
ROI
The ROI would be the man hours saved by implementing the Automation suite.
Pricing, Setup Cost and Licensing
The pricing for this tool is acceptable for the amount of features it provides and as for licensing we are small company and only have two licenses. I believe they offer some savings based on the number of licenses purchased.

Other Advice
Based on my experience, this would be my tool of choice for test automation. There are many out there but I have yet to find one that offers all of the features mentioned above in one package.

I think Ranorex is far robust than QTP or other UI test tools than I know(Test Complete etc.), it has some minor problems, for example opening a browser remotely.
To be able to compile to a exe file is very good but it should be more good if we should run that exe file without need to install the Ranorex on that computer also.

Highlights
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 scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.
Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations.
