Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

Our usage was at least seven to eight months ago. We have web-based and desktop Windows applications, and automating the desktop applications was challenging. Ranorex provided the necessary keywords, especially for our shallow testing needs. We did a couple of POCs using this solution. But at the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a complete solution for mobile application testing."

"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."

"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."

"The product is easy to use."

"The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization."

"For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily."

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"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."

"Object identification is good."

"The solution is stable."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."

"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."

"We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it."

"They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model."

"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."

"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."

"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."

"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."

"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."

"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."

"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."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product could be more affordable."

"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."

"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
