Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 19, 2025

Ranorex Studio and UiPath Test Cloud compete in the automation testing tools category. UiPath Test Cloud seems to have the upper hand due to its broader integration and robust automation capabilities.

Features: Ranorex Studio emphasizes ease of use with features like Ranorex Spy and supports C# or VB.NET code modules. It integrates seamlessly with Jenkins and JIRA, and automates desktop, web, and mobile applications. UiPath Test Cloud is recognized for its cross-platform integration and a comprehensive suite of automation solutions suitable for handling vast data scenarios and diverse environments.

Room for Improvement: Ranorex Studio requires enhancements in its support for non-Windows systems and coding modules beyond drag-and-drop, while users suggest improved browser compatibility. UiPath Test Cloud needs adjustments in its pricing model and better management of manual testing. Users also seek improved defect management and simplified deployment scenarios.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Ranorex Studio primarily offers on-premises deployment with praised reliable support, yet users suggest extending support hours for global users. UiPath Test Cloud provides public and hybrid cloud deployments. It delivers adequate support but is criticized for the complexity of its Orchestrator.

Pricing and ROI: Ranorex Studio has an acceptable pricing model, offering good ROI with high automation potential despite complex licensing. UiPath Test Cloud, while more expensive, is valued for its extensive automation features, providing substantial ROI by reducing manual tasks and resource usage, although users seek more competitive pricing models.

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."

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

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

"Object identification is good."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

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

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

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

More Ranorex Studio pros

"It has reduced all the deployment cycles of the automation solutions by forty percent."

"The Test Manager, the final stage of the UiPath Test Suite, is its most valuable feature."

"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."

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

"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."

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

"Its automated execution when a different package changes and using different test cases defined in an Excel file are particularly useful."

"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."

More UiPath Test Cloud pros

Cons

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

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

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

"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."

"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."

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

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

More Ranorex Studio cons

"The test manager component could be improved."

"There is room for improvement in terms of introducing framework compatibility. Many companies use test automation as an alternative to Selenium but need to develop a fully functional bot in UiPath to test on it, which is inefficient."

"We have output arguments in the workflow. We can check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a workflow, if we want to check if an activity is present inside, we should be able to get the output to UiPath Test Suite through the activity itself. That would be great for testing."

"Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."

"Accessing the full functionality of the Test Suite manager, including the dashboard, requires a tenant license."

"It would be very beneficial to do load testing with Test Suite."

"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."

"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."

More UiPath Test Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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."

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

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

"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)."

"It represents good value for the investment."

"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."

"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."

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

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

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

"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."

"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
