Featured Reviews

Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.
Don Ingerson - PeerSpot reviewer
With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results
With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files. For Web browsers, UFT 12.54 supports IE9, IE10, IE11, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome (versions 31.0 to 54.9), Firefox (versions 27.0 to 49.0). Besides GUI testing, UFT supports database testing and API testing (Docker, WSDL, and SOAP). For the first time ever, HP started to expand the testing capabilities of UFT (QTP) beyond Windows beginning with UFT 12.00. A UFT user can now run tests on Web applications on a Safari browser that is running on a remote Mac computer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"It's simple to set up."
 

Cons

"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"The tool needs to improve its performance since it can become heavy."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"Previously, the product was a script-based solution. Presently, the tool offers non-script, no-code, or low-code functionalities, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"I used the product for free."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"Compared to other tools in the market, UFT One is very competitive. The recent Covid pandemic situation also hit customer budgets significantly, so Micro Focus offered some discounted prices, which is definitely competitive."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
