Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""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.""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.""The solution is stable.""The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on.""The interface is user-friendly.""The tool’s scalability is very good.""The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.""SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing.""The solution has some good scanning features.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."

Cons
"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis.""The solution does not support dual or regression testing.""Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""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.""When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work.""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."

More Ranorex Studio Cons →

"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests.""Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang.""If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating.""The current interface is unsatisfactory.""There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases.""The UI should be improved.""There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users.""SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."

  • "We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
