JG
Manager of Central Excellence at Alpura
Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles
The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.
SK
Senior Solutions Architect at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Integrates well and supports end-to-end workflows with API integration
I deal with various tools including UiPath Test Cloud, Sauce Labs, Postman, and the latest feature, Copilot, so I use everything. A lot of tools are involved. There is a significant difference between Sauce Labs and UiPath Test Cloud; while Sauce Labs offers automation capabilities, the differentiating factor is test coverage. UiPath Test Cloud hits a higher percentage of test cases per lines of code, which means it may cover 7,000 lines in automated tests from 10,000, as opposed to 3,000-4,000 lines with Sauce Labs in a similar scenario. Sauce Labs is less expensive than some of the other tools, and while UiPath Test Cloud has become much better and easier to use than in the past, Sauce Labs was initially user-friendly, but now UiPath Test Cloud has improved significantly from its earlier, more complicated interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With the help of SilkTest we've automated a bunch of routine regression tests, thus we saved our testing team weeks of testing time."
"The statistics that are available are very good, the solution offers very good detailed reports, and it's excellent for testing an application's performance levels."
"It speeds up testing efforts."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."
"It's easy to automate and accelerate testing."
"The solution is user-friendly with respect to automation."
"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."
"It drastically reduced our manual regression efforts that is difficult to achieve in Agile model."
"Its automated execution when a different package changes and using different test cases defined in an Excel file are particularly useful."
"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."
"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."
"The document understanding is good."
"Being able to use regular expressions, activities, and attributes is valuable."
"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."
"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."
"Some of the best features I find with UiPath Test Cloud include the creation of end-to-end workflows with API integration, which was particularly useful for my use case, allowing me to connect APIs seamlessly within the defined workflows in UiPath."
 

Cons

"The support for automation with iOS applications can be better."
"At the moment, when we are trying to use this tool, we are finding quite a few compatibility issues between the tool and the applications on the test. We wouldn't consider it perfectly stable for that reason."
"Everything is very manual. It's up to us to find out exactly what the issues are."
"The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I've seen a lot of potential users upset with the SilkTest due to broken installation."
"GUI interface could be simpler for non-developers."
"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."
"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."
"They could improve the visualization of the product."
"We are facing problems specifically with Desk Manager."
"UiPath needs to improve its Test Manager feature. Defect management and reporting also need improvement."
"The speed could be improved. I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely."
"The test manager component could be improved."
"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."
"The pricing isn't as low as other options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
