Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective.""The solution is stable.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.""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 most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface.""The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

Cons
"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""The solution does not support dual or regression testing.""I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code.""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.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""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.""There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."
