We tried Catalog Studio, but desktop automation didn't work well, so we abandoned it.

My customer wanted me to do the tool analysis and provide recommendations. I evaluated several tools and picked this because it is easy to learn and use, even at graduate entry level college, and I was able to show the value to the customer by running the scripts in ROI. Multiple technology support and very good Object SPY feature.

The solution is a good tool but is not well known in the market or widely used. 

Many people prefer Selenium where you can import DLLs so it is important to stay familiar with Selenium instead of focusing solely on Ranorex or else you will fall behind in technical expertise.

We have decided to move to Katalon. 

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

Before we picked Ranorex, we did a direct comparison with Squish and TestComplete.

When we started using this tool a few years ago, we had finished an evaluation where Ranorex was the winner in terms of capability.

We will be working on new products and we are in the process of looking at more test automation tools. Right now, we are investigating Telerik Test Studio to see if it has more capability than Ranorex.

The ROI would be the man hours saved by implementing the automation suite. The pricing for this tool is acceptable for the amount of features it provides and as for licensing we are small company and only have two licenses. I believe they offer some savings based on the number of licenses purchased.

We had an evaluation period to choose most suitable product from ones available on the market and during that we have tried many of them. We have discovered that Ranorex has native support for all technologies and products used within our company, such as SAP, all Microsoft Dynamics products, SharePoint, Kentico, web based portals and others including support for mobile testing. Also, it beats the others in stability, because other products crashed very often once using recording module.

We evaluated many different products for the engagement. We went with Ranorex due to its relative ease of use, and its support for automating desktop/WPF applications out of the box.

As a consultant, we may choose to work other products in addition to or instead of Ranorex. It will depend on client needs. So yes, we do evaluate other tools but Ranorex fits many situations.

We compared some solutions like SOAP UI and Selenium but for our use it was clearly that Ranorex was the best option. As Ranorex is based upon C# and the .NET framework and our software is also developed in C#.NET it felt familiar and testers could also get help from developers if required.

When I try Silverlight automation (5-6 years back) no tools were promising, (Including popular tools in the market), So chosen Ranorex. But now many tools supporting Silver light applications, So better if we do re-evaluation against latest tools in the market

We did some tests with Selenium, but you still need a lot of dev skills to setup and write an automated test.

We evaluated Selenium and HP Quality Center. We found Ranorex very helpful in supporting both web and desktop based application. It’s very easy to use.

We tried several, and we chose Ranorex for it’s ability to cover large amounts of testing with minimal coding.

We initially tried out the CodedUI by Microsoft, but the coding effort plus the product maturity at that stage convinced us to pick Ranorex.

We tried using HP QTP and Selenium, but opted for Ranorex because of its reasonable price and the ease of use of the automation tool.

No other options were evaluated.

HPE, and Selenium WebDriver, which is open-source. We went with Ranorex because of compliance and the company's requirements.

We also looked at Coded UI.
