Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence Pros and Cons

Panaya Smart Testing is a smart tool to manage multiple defects/assignments at one go. Apart from a very clear visibility and process work flow, I like the freedom which we get in terms of adding attachments, tagging specific people and the amazing filters which makes it much easier to track specific objects. The reports also are quite useful for upper management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will be better if I can get the organization specific and other details of people, when I click on their names on Panaya. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the right approach, wherein more emphasis is given on planning a given task/test, Panaya exponentially reduces time and effort during execution. For me, planning phase involves script creation/correction, dataset preparation and covering other necessary pre-requisites for a given test case. Panaya also offers the Run & Document functionality - to capture additional relevant evidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Panaya does fall short in covering the ERES requirements (from EU Annex 11, USFDA, etc.) to accomodate multiple authors, reviewers, testers, approvers for a given test case. Test scenarios do involve multiple stakeholders - Developer/Author, Tester, Reviewer, QA, etc. And for timestamp in generated evidence.

There are few scripting implementations related to SAP GUI in case of custom developed programs in SAP.

Detailed documentation / training for technical individuals / developers (i.e., SAP ABAPers) would really help organizations using SAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe Panaya is a useful tool. I believe my experience was more negatively affected by horrendous test creations, and errors, and data issues provided by the SAP developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides of Panaya are the uneasiness of the navigation with the product. There were countless times when I would lose all of my data entries when creating defects, simply because I accidentally clicked my mouse outside of the browser window with which I was logging a new defect. Clicking anywhere outside of the pop-up window would promt the window to close and all inputted information to be lost. I used Panaya for more than 200 tests and logged close to 100 defects and this issue was frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recording feature. I like how you are able to record your steps and then the system will create an instruction manual for you based off the recording. Saves a lot of time! Also, their support team is awesome to work with while having issues! They were very responsive and attentative! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lag while recording is difficult to tolerate at times, but I would expect this from similar testing programs. Also, at the beginning, it was a bit difficult to understand their "approach" but after it clicks, it makes the program a lot more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Panaya is abolutely user firendly. Test scenarios are easy to design or to upload. Navigation to execute them is very well designed. It can also do automatic screenshots, that help a lot training document creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PANAYA offers you such a wide range of options and explorations in terms of meeting business test requirements.

The scope to automate evidence capturing, automated test script run, the test report projections, variety of analytical reporting and graphical depictions of test cycles is just next to mind blowing.

With Single Sign on feature, the ease of accessing the tool is further enhanced.

Easy integration compatibilty with multiple interfaces ensures you can use the tool with majority of on-demand and up running softwartes currently supporting business requirements in the market.

The test script input file format is very detailed and offers you to cover wide range of test related parameters to be captured in your test results, further enhancing the level of analytical reporting that one can perform on test results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little bit of time to familiarize with the navigation with in the tool, but with dedicated training documentation provided by the tool and regular handson, one can easily familiarize himself/herself with the features of the tool and chose to best utilize the features as applicable to their business demands.

I greatly like the ability to enable browser plug ins for recording of user acceptance testing. The ability to begin recording on required tests, complete steps, and export the recorded screens also simplifies the process of making SOPs/QRGs as you can re-use your testing data as training tools down the road.

There are quite a few instances, at least within the Oracle WMS and ERP systems, where screenrecording will not capture next steps. I am not sure if this is an issue with the launcher not recognizing the web based UI for these software, or an integration issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Das Tool bietet umfangreiche Möglichkeiten zur Planung und Strukturung des Testscopes. Die Einarbeitung ist sehr einfach und intuitiv. Die einzelnen Testphasen können durch die starke Integration und umfangreichen Reporting und Analyse Möglichkeiten sehr systemtisch und quasi in Echtzeit begleitet und unterstützt werden. Durch regelmäßigen Austausch mit dem professionellen Kundenservice haben wir Fragen und Best Practise zur Nutzung zeitnah und sehr gut klären können. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Die Recording Funktion hat gut funktionniert, kommt aber im weltweiten Kontext in Abhängigkeit von lokalen Sicherheitseinstellungen und bei großen Testfällen an ihre Grenzen. Die KPI Cockpits sind sehr flexible und aussagekräftig online nutzbar. Bei der Überführung in formale Berichte bestehen allerdings nur geringe Möglichkeiten zur Formatierung und Bennenung der Diagramme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the user interface of Panaya Change Intelligence is designed to provide a comprehensive view of changes and their impact, some users have found the interface to be less intuitive or visually appealing compared to other similar tools.

On-Demand Recording and Screenshot Capture: While the suite's recording functionality is valuable, the ability to pause or stop the recording manually would provide greater flexibility for testers. This functionality is not working as expected.

Addressing Application Delays: In some cases, the recording script can introduce delays in the application's response. This can impact testing efficiency and accuracy. The suite could explore techniques to optimize the recording process and minimize these delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
