Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition.""We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant.""The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR.""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.""Good text reading ability.""The solution is a stable one.""The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

More Eggplant Test Pros →

"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows.""If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice.""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.""The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."

Cons
"Its performance and stability could be better.""There was no free trial in it.""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.""Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price.""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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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 language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant.""It has low productivity.""The solution would crash from time to time."

More Eggplant Test 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.""Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial.""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 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."

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