Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
Raghvendra Jyothi - PeerSpot reviewer
Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
 

Cons

"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"It has low productivity."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"There was no free trial in it."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
