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."It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."
"We spend less time preparing data."
"Currently, everyone wants to experiment more and more with cloud offerings. They don't want to spend money on setting up their internal hardware infrastructure. Automation Anywhere is the only tool that provides a pure cloud to customers. That is one of the key features."
"A valuable feature of Automation Anywhere for my needs is IQ Bot because it covers most of the semi-structured and structure data. That's where we are struggling a lot. So, IQ Bot is a very good solution to know and bring onboard for the automation of unstructured and semi-structured data."
"The turnaround time of building bots is quick. We are deploying around four bots per month. The turnaround time to get a design, build, and deploy is very fast. This is very good for us. It has helped us out when scaling up in a better manner."
"By implementing the Automation Anywhere robot, we have reduced the FTE count and it was able to process 800 invoices per day with 100% accuracy."
"The efficiency we get with Automation Anywhere is valuable."
"We are using Automation Anywhere for our leave approval process. We used to have three FTEs on the day shift working on this process. Now, we only have one FTE working on the leave approval process. The bot supports everything else in the process. With this bot, we are saving the cost of two FTEs."
"It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus."
"Selenium's open-source nature is a key advantage. Its extensive support for diverse web technologies."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open-source, has a good interface, and integrates well."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."
"There are many useful features in Selenium that I like, and of the new features I particularly enjoy the Selenium Grid. With this, we can run many test cases in one go, and in one suite we can extract multiple results."
"Ability to integrate with every other tool."
"The primary benefit is its cost and the ability to use the cloud."
"What I like the most about this product is that it gives us a lot of freedom to code anything, there is no restriction on the type of function you can do."
"The quality and speed of Automation Anywhere's support need significant improvement."
"It could be improved in terms of the global analysis of all the issues caused by the dependency components. For example, if bots are running on virtual machines on Microsoft Windows 2019, sometimes an issue might come from the virtual machine. Automation Anywhere should work closely with Microsoft or any other editor with which there are some issues occurring and stopping the bots from running properly."
"We have encountered some issues in the actions like Terminal Emulator-> Send Key -> Page Down/Up not working."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"The Image Recognition functionality should be enhanced to improve the accuracy of checkboxes."
"Their Community Edition is awful. Every second day, it will fail. It will become corrupt."
"Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very difficult with V11."
"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."
"I would like for the next release to support parallel testing."
"The login could be improved, to obviate the need for relying on another one for integration with Selenium HQ"
"They should add more functionality to the solution."
"To simplify the development process, everyone needs to do a Selenium Framework to acquire the web application functions and features from Selenium methods."
"There are stability issues with Internet Explorer only."
"Improvement in Selenium's ability to identify and wait for the page/element to load would be a big plus. This would ensure that our failed test cases will drop by 60%."
"Selenium uses a layer-based approach that is somewhat slower than Eggplant when it comes to executing code."
"Shadow DOM could be improved and the handling of single page applications. Right now, it's a bit complicated and there are a lot of additional scripts required if you want to handle a single page application in a neat way."
