Ease of managing test script especially for regression testing.

"Great when it works" What do you like best about TestComplete? TestComplete is a pretty robust automated testing tool. I've been using it for about 9 years. It does take some time to learn and unlike the salespeople push it to be plug and play or record and playback, there are some scripting skills needed to get your test scripts working consistently for regression testing. It's been a 9 year learning curve but I've gotten there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about TestComplete? Their license utility leaves little to be desired. The department in charge of licensing should take off the tin foil beanies and be a little less paranoid over their product. Believe me, it's not something worth pirating. Most anti-virus software blocks this license product and getting them to get along has been a nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering TestComplete: Make sure your users are technical savvy. During my first training with TestComplete 9 years ago, it was very obvious that the sales team had sold the product as record and playback and that anyone can use it. The other participants in the training class were apparent business users and were not technically minded and were completely lost in the scripting instructions.

However, the scripts have to be watched and adjusted for network fluctuations and delays added to accommodate.

"It has been very useful for us to perform performance tests as well as performance and interface" What do you like best about TestComplete? It has a fairly complete, powerful and intuitive interface so you don't need to be a programming expert to be able to use it without any problem, the fact that it allows me to perform different tests on my programs and developments is something of great help When I want to verify the proper functioning of my entire program in a much safer, more accurate, faster and more reliable way, the quality of the reports generated after performing the software analysis is quite complete and objective, which helps me make decisions. in a much faster way regarding how we are going to solve the problems detected in the best possible way without generating long delays in the final delivery of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about TestComplete? It has some errors that can affect the performance of this application during its use, especially slowing it down or even leaving the program frozen, which happens very frequently, the solution? As there is no other option than to restart the entire application and start the tests from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is TestComplete solving and how is that benefiting you? It has been very useful for us to carry out different tests both of operation and performance and interface for users in a fairly fast and simple way, so that we can be able to identify and correct existing errors in our applications in one much simpler and faster way instead of carrying out manual tests of our systems by members of our work team.

ACT-ON is a very powerful marketing automation tool that we decided upon after much research. It allows a great deal of work in segmentation, customer behavior analysis, etc. However, at $600/mo plus the $450 a month for the Salesforce CRM that we used with it, it was too much expense and, as a very small company, we were not able to take advantage of the features. Support is TREMENDOUS with this company and that goes a long way. We're dropping Act-On for now but if we grow to the size of a company that can afford a full-time marketing person and who can devote the time necessary to utilize all the great tools, we would definitely look at them again.
