Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup was not complex and the product itself is very easy to configure and use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to copy the scenarios and as we do a rollout we can efficiently complete test three and put it somewhere else under a new subsidiary.""It is easy for business users to use who are not familiar with testing tools.""The solution helps with recording and documentation.""Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing.""Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format.""The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts."

"It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management.""We use the solution for test case management.""The solution does its job well.""If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise.""It has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money.""Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution.""It has integration with test automation tools."

Cons
"They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great.""Nothing is automatic.""Support is reactive and in English only.""It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories and we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we have a network connection.""The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install."

More Panaya Test Dynamix Cons →

"Security needs improvement to protect customer information better.""The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there.""We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches.""Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular.""We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility.""Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting.""We faced some errors while uploading the test cases.""The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is rather expensive due to the security it has to offer."
  • "It is expensive. Because of its cost, we couldn't deploy Panaya to a large extent. Its licensing should be improved, and there should be more license types. There should be an advanced license and a basic license."
  • More Panaya Test Dynamix Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
  • "It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."
