Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort
I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"Prior to using the product, all regression testing was done manually for our POS system, and now regression test packs are 70% automated."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"Eggplant allowed us to replace that human work with an automated solution that reduced the time that it took a person to perform the test from upwards of three hours down to a few minutes, while increasing the accuracy to the levels where we are entirely accurate with our timing and tests."
"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."
"Ranorex Spy is the most valuable feature for us, as it provides functionalities for analysis of host or web applications, as well as information for test automation."
"Ranorex improved our ui automation by providing handy features such as WaitForExists, Exists, Enabled, Visible"
"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."
"I’ve always found their support second to none, with responses to my questions answered promptly and technical staff who are extremely technical, which is refreshing given the generally basic support previously experienced from other vendors."
"It is easy to install and use, the user interface is very good, and we moved onto this one as it provided an all-in-one solution for web, mobile, and multi-technology product testing where our previous tool failed."
"I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI right away."
"I tried to use different products Selenium, TestComplete, amongst others, but this was very familiar, fast, adaptable and flexible."
 

Cons

"The biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application, it almost gives you the impression that the application was written in Java Swing."
"It has low productivity."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved. We have found that when you are selecting objects by moving the mouse, and then the position of these objects change in the newer versions of the application, the test tool fails to correctly identify them."
"I encountered a problem during div element recognition. This point could be enhanced."
"The compatibility with different browsers needs to be improved."
"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 think it still needs to improve a lot."
"Tests will fail if browser minimised, Parallel Execution Not possible (We could do are some extend if we use DOM method)."
"I would definitely say that the existing documentation of their API has a lot of room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"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."
"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."
"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."
