UiPath Test Cloud offers responsive, highly-rated customer support through various channels, ensuring effective issue resolution despite extra costs.
Initially, it was quite poor, but it seems they are making efforts to improve.
They get into the meeting, understand the problem, and try to provide a solution quickly.
Support should be free, especially for product-related issues.

UiPath Test Cloud is scalable, excels in regression testing, praised for low-code features, with challenges in integration and cost.
Scaling with UiPath Test Cloud is supported; they have the infrastructure to scale automation to meet business needs.
Proper knowledge of Orchestrator and CI/CD processes makes the product truly scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
OpenText UFT Developer's stability varies; some find it reliable, others report issues, improvements noted, stability is use-case dependent.
Sentiment score
7.9
UiPath Test Cloud is stable, highly rated by users, with minor performance issues attributed to external factors, offering effective automation.
We regularly update the product, and overall, it is stable.
It is performing better than two to three years back; significant improvements have been made for complete project delivery.
UiPath Test Suite has matured over the years and is now quite stable.
 

Room For Improvement

OpenText UFT Developer needs better browser integration, framework support, and improved performance, pricing, and community resources.
UiPath Test Cloud requires enhancements in mobile automation, integration, usability, pricing, visualization, AI-driven features, and tool compatibility.
In some cases, object recognition is not 100%, and a customized solution is necessary.
If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
 

Setup Cost

OpenText UFT Developer's high pricing, compared to open-source tools, limits adoption to larger companies due to setup and license costs.
UiPath Test Cloud offers premium features with rigid, costly licensing, yet remains cost-effective compared to consumption-based options.
The price of OpenText UFT Developer is a bit higher than expected, but there are no better tools available for a valid comparison.
Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.
 

Valuable Features

OpenText UFT Developer enhances test automation with strong integration, language flexibility, and robust object recognition supporting diverse applications and DevOps practices.
UiPath Test Cloud offers seamless integration, streamlines workflows, enhances productivity, and provides cost-efficiency with its intuitive interface and features.
OpenText UFT Developer is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio.
The most valuable feature of UiPath Test Cloud that I have found is the TestManager dashboard, which integrates with Jira through Planview Tasktop.
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.

User-friendly integration with support for Visual Studio enhances GUI testing capabilities
OpenText UFT Developer ( /products/opentext-uft-developer-reviews ) is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio. The support is excellent. It is easy to implement tests with OpenText UFT Developer. We primarily use it for GUI testing and testing web applications with another application. This is the main usage for us. We also integrate it with the N-unit Framework ( /products/framework-reviews ), and they work well together.
Deborah Yarosh - PeerSpot reviewer
Can be used by non-developers, and saves us time, but the manual testing needs improvement
UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment. The QA Manager needs to track which tests have been completed, the success rate, and other relevant information. The ability to have manual tests show up in multiple projects is a requirement that is not easily done in Test Suite. We have submitted the following enhancements request to UiPath and are waiting for them to address these issues before migrating our manual testing to the UiPath Test Suite platform. * Ability to import manual test cases from an Excel Spreadsheet. * Ability to create release folders and have manual tests under the folders (sub-folders are also needed). * Ability to copy tests between projects (manual and automated). * Ability to execute manual test cases in any order and skip tests if needed. * Ability to assign and see who has been assigned to test cases – need to know who created the test case and who executed the test case as they could be different people. * Ability for the QA manager to see which test cases have been run and which haven’t as well as which ones were successful, and which weren’t. * Ability for the QA manager to track defect cycles for a particular release. * Improving Search functionality – must enter the exact test case name in current search functionality. * Ability to extract key data for artifacts for Release Management or Audit* Test Set or Individual Cases, * Include Test Results (passed / failed), * Include how many iterations a test case went through until it passed.
