Featured Reviews

Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ranorex is more up-to-date and provides more support for testing."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"The solution is stable."
"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."
"We went with Ranorex due to its relative ease of use, and its support for automating desktop/WPF applications out of the box."
"Ranorex improved our ui automation by providing handy features such as WaitForExists, Exists, Enabled, Visible"
"I tried to use different products Selenium, TestComplete, amongst others, but this was very familiar, fast, adaptable and flexible."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"I would say Worksoft Certify is good and the best one to date when automating an SAP platform."
"We get feedback from all areas that the return on investment is there, not just regarding time savings but also cost reduction."
"A specific feature that I found to be the most valuable in the solution for our company's work processes stems from the fact that it is useful as a low-code automation tool."
"Certify's web UI testing abilities for testing of modern applications like SAP Fiori was good when we started and they developed it to be even better. We all know that web applications can change objects in DOM quite fast and it breaks tests. To counter it Certify has made object recognition more flexible and generic, so we don't have any troubles."
"If you are working on SAP automation with Certify, then it’s the best tool to work with."
"Prior to Worksoft, there were three different individuals within the company who worked collectively for about three years trying to automate just one of our smoke tests for our point of sale system, but with Worksoft, we have been able to automate six of our smoke tests in four months."
"One of the biggest advantages for this solution is codeless automation, because it is codeless, you can train people within a couple of hours."
"It is a lot easier to maintain test scripts on Worksoft Certify than on other testing tools that we have had in the past."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."
"No real issues, but I had to force close Ranorex Studio a couple of times, as it was stuck with the 'Not Responding' message for a long time on Windows 7."
"I would like to see Ranorex come up with a load balancing tool for test execution."
"More possibilities on mobile devices, as we have already encountered some problems with iFrames integrated in a web page."
"I encountered a problem during div element recognition. This point could be enhanced."
"I have proposed few suggestions to them in the product improvement area."
"The technical support has been good, but sometimes there are little delays. A lot of times when we need support, it's an emergency situation."
"When it comes to mobile testing, we have a small bottleneck there. You have to buy third-party separate licenses if you want to test on a mobile."
"Performance on the web UI part, especially with some of the more comprehensive Fiori features, like the complex tables that are being used, could be improved. In those cases we have noticed a lot of execution-time increase with regards to the Certify solution."
"The technical support comes on, and says, "Oh, so-and-so link is here, go through that link, and make the modifications." I'm not comfortable in making those changes. I want to schedule a call, share my screen, and have them fix it for me."
"The product had some UI issues."
"Small changes in the HTML page design can impact the automation process, unlike SAP, where the script remains stable unless there is a functional change."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation."
"On the Capture 2.0 topic, we were not satisfied, because we had a version that wasn't really tested from my perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"The price is in line with everyone else's in the market. They are not cheaper nor more expensive than anyone else who was in our RFP."
"If we do one manual process, it could take approximately two hours. The same process using Worksoft probably takes ten minutes."
"I think they came out with a different type of licensing specifically for testing. Therefore, you don't have to use a more expensive user license, you can use an automation license. So potentially, if we had 100 use cases, we could spin up a 100 different machines, have them all run and be done in five minutes. That would be the goal, but I don't know if that would actually succeed or not."
"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent. With further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent. That is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."
"Worksoft Certify is priced higher than most tools."
"Cost-wise, compared with other tools, it is a great product."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
"Automating our manual processes has saved us 70 to 80 percent in time."
