Head of Digital & Cognitive Services at a tech company with 11-50 employees
A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

Sr Test Lead at Emerson
Used for integration automation, user-based automation, and web automation
The solution's most valuable features are the drag-and-drop feature, keyword-driven approach, and reusability of the scripts. The solution has introduced a new feature that helps us identify objects we cannot normally identify. It gives you a fair idea of objects, resolving the object recognition issue. The solution can be used to perform different tests on different machines.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Technical support is excellent, and if you reach out to them, they will get back to you within 24 hours."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is how easy it is to create tests."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product; it also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"This application is helping a lot in regression testing."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"For us, the automated test farm of 20 virtual machines for execution, 20 TestComplete licenses and 20 automated testers are doing the job of 100 manual testers."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps, as we can use it to integrate everything that we are running in the test automation tool, which is linked directly to the test cases."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
 

Cons

"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"Implementation of screen recording during testing (video recording)."
"A test case design (schema) module would be nice."
"The tool sometimes seems a little unstable and crashes sometimes on Windows 10."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"Sometimes, TestComplete crashes when attempting to delete over 10 logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
"The pricing is a little above average — it could be lower."
"The price of SmartBear TestComplete could be less. The main challenge is when it comes to node-locked. They should use a subscription model, such as a monthly-based subscription or, a quarterly-based subscription. Their floating license is very expensive, and this high price should be reduced or provide, at a minimum, a subscription model."
"It costs a few hundred per year, but I am not sure. It is not at all expensive as compared to other tools."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The solution is around $1500. Some are perpetual licenses, and some get a yearly report card."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
