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 based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them.""The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests.""It is easy to set up.""It provides very strong cross-platform support.""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 most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it.""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.""Good text reading ability."

"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest.""Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports.""Automatic testing is the most valuable feature.""We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios.""Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in.""Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally.""Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used.""If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."

Cons
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price.""A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment.""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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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.""Its performance and stability could be better.""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.""We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution.""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.""The solution would crash from time to time."

More Eggplant Test Cons →

"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu.""Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""The performance could be a bit better.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
  • "Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
  • "End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
  • "It probably has a yearly license."
  • "This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
  • "Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

  • "From what I understand, Parasoft SOAtest isn't the cheapest option. But it has a lot to offer."
  • "The cost of Parasoft seems to have gotten higher with a projection that wasn't really stipulated for our company. They've done a tremendous job at negotiating those deals."
  • "I think it would be a great step to decrease the price of the licenses."
  • "It is an expensive product, so think carefully about whether it fits your purposes and is the right tool for you."
  • "We are completed satisfied with Parasoft SOAtest. The ROI is more than 95%."
  • "The license price is a little expensive, but it provides a better outcome in terms of the end-to-end automation process."
  • "They do have a confusing licensing structure."
  • "The price is around $5,000 USD."
