Sentiment score
7.9
UiPath Test Cloud is stable, highly rated by users, with minor performance issues attributed to external factors, offering effective automation.
We regularly update the product, and overall, it is stable.
It is performing better than two to three years back; significant improvements have been made for complete project delivery.
UiPath Test Suite has matured over the years and is now quite stable.
 

Room For Improvement

OpenText UFT Developer needs better browser integration, framework support, and improved performance, pricing, and community resources.
UiPath Test Cloud requires enhancements in mobile automation, integration, usability, pricing, visualization, AI-driven features, and tool compatibility.
In some cases, object recognition is not 100%, and a customized solution is necessary.
If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
 

Setup Cost

OpenText UFT Developer's high pricing, compared to open-source tools, limits adoption to larger companies due to setup and license costs.
UiPath Test Cloud offers premium features with rigid, costly licensing, yet remains cost-effective compared to consumption-based options.
The price of OpenText UFT Developer is a bit higher than expected, but there are no better tools available for a valid comparison.
Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.
 

Valuable Features

OpenText UFT Developer enhances test automation with strong integration, language flexibility, and robust object recognition supporting diverse applications and DevOps practices.
UiPath Test Cloud offers seamless integration, streamlines workflows, enhances productivity, and provides cost-efficiency with its intuitive interface and features.
OpenText UFT Developer is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio.
The most valuable feature of UiPath Test Cloud that I have found is the TestManager dashboard, which integrates with Jira through Planview Tasktop.
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.

Eitan Gold - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly integration with support for Visual Studio enhances GUI testing capabilities
OpenText UFT Developer ( /products/opentext-uft-developer-reviews ) is user-friendly and integrates well with Visual Studio. The support is excellent. It is easy to implement tests with OpenText UFT Developer. We primarily use it for GUI testing and testing web applications with another application. This is the main usage for us. We also integrate it with the N-unit Framework ( /products/framework-reviews ), and they work well together.
Manigandan Rajavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings
I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.
