We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""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.""I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"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.""The product enables codeless automation.""For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing.""The technical support is good, we were satisfied.""With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests.""This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated.""One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal.""Object Identification Wizard."

Cons
"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.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""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.""Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""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.""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."

More Ranorex Studio Cons →

"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely.""It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue.""I would like to see better integration with other testing tools.""First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better.""The integration with mobile testing could be useful.""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.""The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows.""In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
