We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does.""It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class.""We find the solution stable and scalable."

"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications.""Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies.""It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like.""Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""It's stable and reliable.""The initial setup isn't too difficult.""I am impressed with the product's script test."

Cons
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used.""I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."

More Eggplant Performance Cons →

"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen.""You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others.""Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability.""The solution is expensive.""I would like a better user interface.""In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows.""ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times.""The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
  • "The pricing is competitive in India."
