Ranorex Studio vs Visual Studio Test Professional comparison

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

"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."

"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."

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

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."

"The stability has always been very good."

"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."

"Easy to use and easily scalable."

"It is a good and user-friendly tool."

"The solution is very stable."

"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."

"The whole suite is made for .NET development."

"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."

"The documentation is limited."

"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."

"The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use."

"The price could be improved."

"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."

"The data flow can be improved."

"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

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

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

"We have licensing for Visual Studio Community edition."

"For the cloud services option, you buy a subscription per account or per user. This costs around $52 a month per person."

"Our company pays a yearly licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional."

"I think that the pricing is quite good."

"There are two versions of Visual Studio Test Professional: Community and Professional. We are currently using the Community version, but if we start working on a commercial product, we will consider upgrading to the Professional version. We need to identify how we will proceed with our projects, and based on that, we will decide on our licensing."

"We pay for the solution annually and the price could be reduced."

"There is a paid version of the solution as well as a community version that is free."

"It is a price-effective solution"
