Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."

More Galen Framework Pros →

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""Object identification is good.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy.""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 solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."

More Galen Framework Cons →

"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work.""We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier.""The solution does not support dual or regression testing.""Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."

    Overview

    Layout testing seemed always a complex task. Galen Framework offers a simple solution: test location of objects relatively to each other on page. Using a special syntax and comprehensive rules you can describe any layout you can imagine.

    Galen Framework runs well in Selenium Grid. You can set up your tests to run in a cloud like Sauce Labs or BrowserStack so that you can even test your responsive websites on different mobile devices. Galen can run multiple tests in parallel which is also a nice time saver.

    Galen Framework is designed with responsivness in mind. It is easy to set up a test for different browser sizes. Galen just opens a browser, resizes it to a defined size and then tests the page according to specifications.

    Ranorex is a leading software development company that offers innovative test automation software. Ranorex makes testing easy, saves time in the testing process and empowers clients to ensure the highest quality of their products. Its flexible tools and quick ROI make it the ideal choice for companies of virtually any size – and this is why thousands of clients in over 60 countries trust in its excellence.
