Senior Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Offers good stability and robust but lacks generative AI capabilities
Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is great."
"They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization."
"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."
"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."
"The solution provides a controlled device farm with the right devices (selected based on analytics), that are readily available (can be reserved), have the right app and can be used for manual or automated tests."
"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."
"We evaluated other mobile testing solutions and found this to be superior to all of them."
"Faster access to different versions of browsers, without needing to worry about hardware or software limitations; 99% uptime."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"Running tests in parallel on Sauce Labs definitely saves time and effort."
"Prior to implementation we had a three month release cycle; using Sauce Labs we were able to move to daily releases."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration."
"The most valuable feature is the cross-browser feature, it has many android and iOS devices both simulators and real devices. It's easy to integrate. I also like video recording too."
"With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won’t regret."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."
"It's very new to HP. They need to go beyond the HP world."
"With versions prior to 2.0 I found that configuration was trickier than it should be, particularly with aspects such as NV."
"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."
"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."
"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."
"It's complex, and you need more skills than in most implementations."
"Agility Faster results"
"We had some specific features that we opened tickets on, although they were not earth-shattering."
"Speed and connectivity need improvement."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"We have found that during automated testing this can be very slow. This causes inconsistencies with the tests. It's very difficult to rely on a service when you can't be sure if a test will pass or fail the next time it runs. This means building in a lot of sync time into the tests which in turn slows them down. If this speed could be improved then the service would be much better."
"Sauce Labs can include new technologies like generative AI capabilities."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point. Using a real mobile device, and having that dedicated to your team, costs more than actually purchasing a mobile device. We haven't tried the real devices yet. This is because of their price point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"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."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
