Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology.""It is easy to set up.""The solution is a stable one.""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 most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR.""It provides very strong cross-platform support.""We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual.""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."

"It provides visibility on release status and readiness.""It allows us to easily make linkage and dependencies, with plenty of integrations.""By using QC we broke down silos (of teams), improved the organization of our tests, have a much better view of the testing status, and became much quicker in providing test results with document generation.""I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is the alignment of the test to the execution and the linking of the defects to the two. It automatically links any issues you have to the test.""It is a tool, and it works. It has got good linkage and good traceability between the test cases and the defects. It has got lots of features for testing.""Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side.""Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."

Cons
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment.""The solution would crash from time to time.""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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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.""They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application.""There was no free trial in it.""Its performance and stability could be better.""Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price.""It has low productivity."

More Eggplant Test Cons →

"The solution needs to offer support for Agile. Currently, ALM only supports Waterfall.""ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes.""The support is not good and the documentation is not consistent.""They should specify every protocol or process with labels or names.""I would rate it a 10 if it had the template functionality on the web side, had better interfaces between other applications, so that we didn't have dual data entry or have to set up our own migrations.""There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution.""ALM only works on Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on any other browser. In my opinion, Internet Explorer is generally a bit slower. I would like to see it work on Chrome or on other browsers.""If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good"

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."
  • More Eggplant Test Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
  • "If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
  • "For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
  • "The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
  • "HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
  • "Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."
  • "Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."
  • "I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"
