We performed a comparison between DX SaaS and Eggplant Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It supports numerous platforms."
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature."
"DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"Good text reading ability."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account."
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved."
"DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."
"It has low productivity."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
