The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product
Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."
"It's pretty straightforward to set up."
"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."
"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."
"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."
"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."
"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."
"Customer Service: Good. Technical Support: It's the best."
"My general overall impression of Sauce Labs is very positive."
"Before implementing Sauce Labs, we tested physical devices that team members had to share. It was more feasible when we were all located in one office, but we couldn't leverage our offshore capacity. With this solution, we can do everything remotely, which is essential now that most of us work from home."
"This product is a big time-saver, so by extension, it's a cost-savings."
"It improved our organisation by reducing escaped bugs."
"Sauce Labs is the best out there, beating their competitors because of its price, customer support, and an amazing forum where you can ask and get answered really quickly."
"Being able to test on Windows without a VM has been a life saver."
"The combination of OS platforms, platform versions, browsers and browser versions support on VMs."
 

Cons

"The maintenance is very difficult."
"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."
"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."
"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."
"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."
"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."
"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."
"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."
"Back in 2018 or 2019, I would have said that Sauce Labs' stability is horrible."
"This product is not super scalable, because you have a very specific number of VMs that you can use."
"Sometimes the tests can pass or fail inconsistently. The tunnels and jobs timeout before the app loads, or it has to try 3 or 4 times to get a good connection."
"It's a little bit slow sometimes."
"One of the challenging areas for us is the reporting and the matrix. It should be based on roles, but right now it is only available for the admin role. The admin role can really do a lot of stuff, but our infrastructure team, which holds the admin role, is not ready to hand it over to us on the testing team. If Sauce Labs had permissions associated with roles, where this role could do this activity and that role could do that activity, it would be easier for us."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"Implementing user requests at a faster rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."
"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
"It is an expensive tool."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
