We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software.""The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the number of plugins for object recognition. The predefined libraries allow us to automate tasks.""One of the important features, which speeds up the automation testing development with LeanFT, is its object repository functions. Object identification are the most time-consuming aspect of building automation tests. LeanFT gives that out of the box. It helps you identify the objects and after that, once you got the object in place, then it's just about building the test scripts. So it reduces your development time significantly.""The most valuable feature is stability.""The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working.""It is a product that can meet regulations of the banking industry."

"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine.""Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable.""Our team used to require five to six days to complete the entire release or execution cycle. Now, we're able to complete it within just one or one and a half days.""In terms of integration with other lifecycle tools and applications, UiPath Test Suite works very well because of the basis of RPA, and how RPA and automation can handle different applications and different areas of expertise.""UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed.""We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file.""The detailed logging is invaluable.""It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."

Cons
"UFT Developer is good, but it requires high-level development skills. Scripting is something that everybody should know to be able to work with this product. Currently, it is very development intensive, and you need to know various scripting languages. It would be good if the development effort could be cut short, and it can be scriptless like Tosca. It will help in more adoption because not every team has people with a software engineering background. If it is scriptless, the analysts who wear multiple hats and come from different backgrounds can also use it in a friendly manner. It is also quite expensive.""The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement.""It is unstable, expensive, inflexible, and has poor support.""The tool could be a little easier.""Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise.""Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful.""I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability.""With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."

More OpenText UFT Developer Cons →

"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability.""Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally.""I don't rate its ability to automate very well.""At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically.""UiPath could further enhance its functionality by simplifying the test case creation process within Test Suite.""UiPath needs to improve its Test Manager feature. Defect management and reporting also need improvement.""They could improve the visualization of the product.""The product releases sometimes have issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is quite expensive and is priced per seat or in concurrent (or floating) licenses over a period of months."
  • "The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."
  • "The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."
  • "When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."
  • "It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."
  • "The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."
  • "Its cost is a bit high. From the licensing perspective, I am using a concurrent license. It is not a seed license. It is something that I can use in our network. It can also be used by other users."
  • "The price of the solution could be lowered. The cost is approximately $25 per year for a subscription-based license."

  • "UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
  • "When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
  • "I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
  • "I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
  • "One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
  • "It represents good value for the investment."
  • "Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
  • "I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
