Selenium HQ is stable across platforms, with minor issues in Internet Explorer; most find Chrome and Firefox satisfactory.
Sentiment score
7.3
Worksoft Certify is generally stable, with occasional issues mainly during upgrades; users cite reliable support and frequent web maintenance needs.
Selenium HQ is a scalable solution; it has been in production for the last two years, but I have been working on it for the last six years, so it is definitely scalable.
DevOps Lead at Illumifin India LLP
Until we receive confirmation from the support team or Worksoft that a release is stable, we should avoid upgrading because it can have significant impacts.
Senior Automation Engineer at Deployd
Regarding stability, I have not seen any lagging, crashing, or downtime with Worksoft Certify; it is very stable nowadays.
Automation Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
It depends on where this particular tool is installed, including the RAM size or the disk size of that machine.
Test Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Room For Improvement

Selenium HQ requires better browser support, enhanced reporting, frequent updates, mobile testing, improved documentation, and user-friendly features.
Worksoft Certify needs interface, integration, and support improvements, along with better training, AI integration, and modern application compatibility.
An automatic update mechanism for Selenium HQ would be beneficial, eliminating the need for manual downloads and updates of browser drivers when new versions are released.
Sr Manager consultant - Digital assurance Services at adrosonic
I don't know if we have that capability to provide different data sources such as SQL Server, CSV, or maybe some other databases, so that kind of capability would be great.
DevOps Lead at Illumifin India LLP
Focusing more on AI and its integration with Worksoft would really help enhance our processes.
Project Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
There are a few areas where I experience limitations in day-to-day usage. This includes UI responsiveness when working with large projects, the effort required to stabilize object identification in dynamic web and Fiori applications, limited flexibility in reporting customization, and there is more room for improvement in API automation testing.
Consultant at Atos syntel
They need to keep working on the mobile interface, the API part, and they need to improve more on web applications.
Automation Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

Selenium HQ is a cost-effective, open-source tool, though additional expenses may arise for maintenance, implementation, and expertise.
Worksoft Certify's pricing suits large enterprises with flexible licensing, offering high value despite initial setup and additional costs.
As it is a quality tool, the price is slightly higher, but that is acceptable compared to other tools, especially considering the ROI.
Project Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I would rate the pricing for Worksoft Certify as moderate and competitive, and I do not mark it as high.
Principal Consultant at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
compared to open source or lighter automation tools, the licensing cost is higher, which means organizations usually adopt it when they have a large-scale SAP landscape and need robust enterprise-level automation capabilities.
Consultant at Atos syntel
 

Valuable Features

Selenium HQ provides cost-free, adaptable, cross-platform testing with customization, CI tool compatibility, and a supportive community.
Worksoft Certify facilitates codeless automation, easy integration, efficient testing, and productivity without coding knowledge, accessible to various users.
New features in Selenium HQ make object identification easier without reliance on XPath and CSS.
Sr Manager consultant - Digital assurance Services at adrosonic
When we were doing these tests manually, it took several hours of effort, and those hours, when counted on the basis of person days, used to be maybe six or seven months of effort, which we can now do every day by running the pipeline.
DevOps Lead at Illumifin India LLP
Teams who are planning for automation and are still in manual testing can use Worksoft Certify, and significant time and resources will be reduced.
Project Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I believe it will reduce cycle time; we can save 30 to 40%, even 40 to 60% regression cycle time, with innovations we have implemented with Worksoft Certify.

DevOps Lead at Illumifin India LLP
Automation revolutionizes testing efficiency and cost savings while ensuring smooth deployment
The challenges I faced while integrating Selenium HQ into my existing systems relate to historical data, which requires going back six years. I have to traverse if there were any challenges because I am sure if there were any, they must have been documented in our ALM documents. The multi-browser support of Selenium HQ impacts my testing process primarily since it is being used in Edge and Chrome browsers. It all depends on our customers. I haven't heard of any challenges with other browsers such as Opera or Mozilla Firefox, as these two browsers are what we primarily use. When we were doing these tests manually, it took several hours of effort, and those hours, when counted on the basis of person days, used to be maybe six or seven months of effort, which we can now do every day by running the pipeline. This has definitely saved a lot of money for us.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
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.
