Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options
OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Integration processes improve but scripting requires effort
The updates, pricing part, and upgrades to the products are some of the most valuable features with the Salesforce Platform.With the Salesforce Platform, I have minimal experience of approximately one and a half years. I get minimal exposure, once every three or two months, especially during holidays. The Salesforce Platform is connected to the cloud, which is beneficial. When it is integrated with different tools such as Microsoft BI Analytics, it helps us analyze much better. Currently, the integration itself is tricky as we have to use extensive scripting. It should be more of a plug-in and use solution. That is the only issue I see, but otherwise, I appreciate it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ideas and possibilities that this tool has are incredibly useful."
"It is a complete solution for mobile application testing."
"Using the existing enterprise tools, like UFT, or even if you want to go open source, you can use them and it's a real user-functional performance, we are able to achieve that."
"In general, in my opinion, Mobile Center is a good product that allows us to do everything we need to automate application testing for mobile."
"The main benefit is that you can get a very quick idea regarding the performance of your application, and it also helps you discover hidden pain points that you would not have found without using this tool."
"The pricing is great."
"We escalate tickets to HPE, and we don't have problems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization."
"It is a good product, and it has served us well."
"Before Salesforce, we used to use four to five disparate systems to manage all the customers; with Salesforce, we have been given one central source of tools."
"What we like the most about it is the fact that it helps us track the record of our projects. It keeps everything on one interface, facilitating the operations and planning."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."
"Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse."
 

Cons

"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."
"I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them."
"However, in some cases we discovered some issues for HPE support regarding the latest enhancements; the delivery time for these enhancements is not as fast as we would like."
"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."
"It's very new to HP. They need to go beyond the HP world."
"I don't think the product as it is right now is going to sell itself, but it's really what are the next steps."
"OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web could benefit from implementing a low-code, no-code solution that aids in quick automation code preparation."
"The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."
"There is always room for improvement."
"Salesforce's constant rebranding and name changes can be confusing for both customers and partners."
"It is on the expensive side, unfortunately."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
"They have some limitations as a cloud solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
"The product could be more affordable."
"The product's additional features can be expensive."
"It is expensive. Licensing is on an annual basis."
"Salesforce does a user capacity analysis on a regular basis. For example, if you're not using certain areas, you may lose access. If you don't go in and quote and edit quotes, all of a sudden you may lose your rights to quote."
"I have heard that it is fairly priced. It offers ROI."
"Salesforce is cheap."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"It is very expensive. Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I rate this solution a six out of ten for pricing. Though the solution is on the pricier side, it still offers good value for money."
