Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Ranorex Studio and UiPath Test Suite are competitors in the test automation category. UiPath Test Suite appears to have an edge due to strong mobile testing and integration features.

Features: Ranorex Studio offers Ranorex Spy, Ranorex Recorder, and robust object recognition, making test automation accessible for non-technical users. Advanced users can benefit from C# or VB.NET scripting capabilities and its integration with Jenkins and JIRA. UiPath Test Suite provides comprehensive integration services, document processing prowess, and a robust mobile testing framework, focusing on ease of use with tools like Task Capture.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio could expand its OS support beyond Windows, improve browser compatibility, and enhance load balancing tools. Users also wish for advanced mobile testing features. UiPath Test Suite might enhance its test manager functionality, better integrate manual testing processes, and improve reporting and complex data handling to lessen management burdens.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio is primarily on-premises with strong email and forum support, though its cloud deployment options are limited. UiPath Test Suite offers diverse deployment choices including cloud and hybrid options, appealing to businesses seeking flexibility. Both receive positive customer support feedback, but UiPath's broader deployment strategy caters to a wider user base.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio is costly but offers a robust feature set that provides good ROI by improving productivity, though the license cost can be high for small businesses. UiPath Test Suite, while expensive in terms of licensing, saves operational costs by boosting productivity through advanced features. Its pricing is justified by its extensive integration capabilities, offering solid ROI for enterprises fully utilizing its features.

IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco

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

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. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Increases productivity compared to other tools

The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better. Building an automation test case from manual cases is easy, but sometimes we feel the process can get lengthy because we cannot create customized functions and the predefined ones are unsuitable for the particular purpose. We need to do a workaround that involves extra steps. I am unsure how UiPath will help with complex processes because they typically have multiple layers of various technologies. It also depends on the data synchronization. For example, if I have posted something in the front end, how long does it take to be reflected in the back end? That also matters because it's passing through different layers. End-to-end automation will be a little bit tricky because there are multiple front-end and back-end software involved. It is easy for either front-end or back-end testing. If we include the back end and front end to create an end-to-end scenario, it will be difficult because sometimes there are different databases and layers connected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

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

"The solution is stable."

"Object identification is good."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"Our team used to require five to six days to complete the entire release or execution cycle. Now, we're able to complete it within just one or one and a half days."

"What I like most about UiPath Test Suite is that it's straightforward, and any user who knows how to use the UiPath Studio can learn how to create a test script in as fast as thirty minutes. There's nothing new you must learn to use UiPath Test Suite because it only has three sections: Given, Then, and When."

"In terms of integration with other lifecycle tools and applications, UiPath Test Suite works very well because of the basis of RPA, and how RPA and automation can handle different applications and different areas of expertise."

"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."

"The detailed logging is invaluable."

"It is feature-rich. It has more features than other RPA tools."

"Test Manager is helpful for tracking process steps. We can see which step is failing."

"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."

More UiPath Test Suite pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"We are facing problems specifically with Desk Manager."

"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."

"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."

"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."

"The test manager component could be improved."

"They could improve the visualization of the product."

"If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it."

"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability."

More UiPath Test Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."

"It represents good value for the investment."

"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."

"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."

"Its price is a bit high."

"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
