We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and TFS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"Good text reading ability."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"User alerts are very helpful for knowing when work is required."
"It's an integrated system that includes all the information that we need to deliver our products smoothly and to track the progress of each piece of code."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"It's user friendly. We haven't had any issues so far. It's flexible. If we need something, we can always contact the owner in our headquarters to make a configuration."
"Team Foundation Server (TFS) is easy to use, and we have a complete trail and traceability. We also like the access control part."
"It is very user-friendly."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"There was no free trial in it."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"TFS and MTM have their own style of working and they are different from other tools like Jira or TestRail, which are simpler and easy to use."
"I understand Microsoft is phasing out TFS in favor of Git, so I would steer anyone interested in TFS to look into Git."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"It has been really dated. When you start to work more in an agile environment, it is not really that flexible. They tried to replicate the look and feel of Jira, but it is not quite there. It was nice to use in the past, but it is not as flexible now with the changing development environments and methodologies."
"The execution of test cases could stand improvement."
"I only use 1% of the functionality, so I am not familiar enough to know what needs to be improved."
"TFS's CI/CD, project pipelines, and management development could be improved."
