Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"Previously, the product was a script-based solution. Presently, the tool offers non-script, no-code, or low-code functionalities, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"Additionally, there are hanging issues where it becomes unresponsive, which can be improved."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
"The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
