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.

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

"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."
"The product has many features."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"I used different solution afterwards and I can say there is no other product with such great flexibility."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"This application is helping a lot in regression testing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"This has allowed us to make significant product changes, new server deployments, and hosting changes with high confidence."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"The initial deployment of TestComplete was difficult, but with the assistance of SmartBear technical support, I was able to get it up and running."
"LoadComplete could be a little more user-friendly, but is still better than LoginVSI."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"I would like to see improved language support, with Python being my first choice."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The integration tools could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"SmartBear TestComplete is an expensive tool."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The license price for a physical machine is cheap, and for virtual machine, it is very expensive."
"The product is becoming more and more expensive."
"It is approximately $6,000 a year."
"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."
"TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
"The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
