Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence Reviews & Product Details

This tool is highly intuitive and easy to learn. I was able to become proficient with it quickly, which made our data validation, UAT, and Dress Rehearsal processes much smoother.

I had other system migrations before where testing was followed via excel... this is a huge step forward to increase productivity and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the tool, and I have to think hard to find anything I dislike. One suggestion I have is that when I mark a test as Failed and it is waiting for the technical team to review, it would be helpful if I could remain listed as the "current tester." Otherwise, the test disappears from my inbox until the defects are resolved and closed.

Also asking for verification so frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how intuitive the interface is, being able to generate my own charts to better track the tests I conduct in my project, the option to work with automation rules makes things a bit easier, and also how easy it is to generate and load test scenarios, users, and define the different roles they can have or create my own roles according to the task that needs to be done is very good. The view of comments on defects allows us to have better communication with the team of consultants. It is easy to train my users in the use of the tool, it takes me about 10 minutes to train a group of users on the use of the platform and the recording, so implementing it is very simple. As for customer service, it is very good, they have even set up online sessions for me to resolve my cases. All of this has led us to use it for different implementation or comprehensive testing projects, we have used it in around 6 different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to customize more aspects of the platform. There are many areas of opportunity, such as when viewing the "Ready to test" steps, it could also tell me the potential steps that person has to do or which ones are freed if that step is completed. In the reports area, being able to add a column with the workspace to which my users belong without having to resort to Excel for that. I also feel that an area of opportunity is to make a step depend on a test being carried out in another scenario. Being able to notify more than one user when a specific step is ready to be performed would also be perfect. Regarding its ease of integration, it is always necessary to have an internal trainer since the platform guides are not very up-to-date, and therefore do not include all the new functions implemented in the last year. I consider it is only easy to integrate when there is someone who has used this tool before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it organizes everything in perfect manner, whenever there is defect and test case is aligned with defect - it will ask for impact and work accordingly.

and it is really easy to user tool all organized in such manner that new users also would not get confused.

and I see that it is implemented in such order that can assign roles accordingly and admins also has ease to use.

about customer support - whenever there is maintenance mode, each time they notify us early.

I am using it on regular basis as my all defect and tests are on Panaya only.

and it is integrated well as i know Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think whenever someone by mistakenly mention user in comment and that user is not involved in defect or test, after that they edit or delete removing that user's name from the comment, it will still keep updates that user about details about the defect or test Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence offers several features that make it a valuable tool, especially for SAP and Oracle environments. Some of the aspects I find most impressive include:

1. **Impact Analysis**: Panaya provides deep insights into the impact of any change, ensuring that users know exactly which transactions, custom objects, or configurations will be affected. This minimizes risk and speeds up the change process.

2. **Automated Testing**: It automates end-to-end testing and accelerates the testing process by using AI to identify which areas need testing based on code changes, eliminating redundant tests.

3. **Collaboration and Tracking**: The platform allows teams to collaborate on testing and changes while tracking progress and status in real-time, which enhances coordination between stakeholders.

4. **Code Quality Improvement**: With its smart code analysis features, Panaya helps detect potential code quality issues early on, reducing post-deployment errors.

5. **Risk Mitigation**: By providing detailed risk assessments, it ensures that teams are aware of the potential challenges before deploying changes, increasing confidence in upgrades or implementations.

These capabilities make Panaya particularly useful for organizations handling frequent updates or upgrades in complex ERP landscapes like SAP. What about Panaya interests you? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence offers many strong features, there are a few potential limitations that could be areas of improvement:

Customization Complexity: Some users find that tailoring Panaya to their specific needs requires a steep learning curve. Customizing test plans and configurations can sometimes feel cumbersome, particularly for organizations with highly customized SAP landscapes.

Cost: For smaller organizations or projects, Panaya can be perceived as expensive. Its pricing structure may not always be cost-effective, especially if the organization doesn’t frequently handle large-scale updates or complex change management.

Initial Setup and Integration: Setting up Panaya and integrating it into existing SAP landscapes and workflows might take more time than expected. The onboarding process, while necessary, can be resource-intensive.

Limited Flexibility in Automation: While Panaya excels in automated testing, there can be some limitations in the flexibility of its automation, particularly when dealing with niche or highly specific business scenarios.

User Interface: The user interface, while functional, could be more intuitive. Some users feel that the navigation could be streamlined, and certain features might benefit from more user-friendly designs.

These challenges don’t necessarily detract from the overall value of the tool, but they are points to consider depending on the organization’s specific needs and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think could be improved the Reporting.. many times, to me, is better to extract the information in excel and use Pivot Charts to get the information I need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence indispensable for managing testing processes efficiently. I love using its reports to manage projects effectively; these reports can be tailored to my needs, making it incredibly useful for presenting status updates and management presentations. The different selection criteria in the reports allow me to filter testing progress by specific groups, functions, entities, or individuals, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each testing cycle. I also appreciate the system's flexibility in checking defect statuses and monitoring the different stages of testing. Additionally, Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence provides a good structure for testing preparation and keeps me updated with essential details like testing progress, potential bugs, and outstanding steps. The platform is user-friendly and easy to manage, which enhances my ability to plan and organize workloads efficiently. I'm so satisfied with it that I give it a rating of 10 out of 10 for recommending it to colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the defect statuses lacking, as there is currently no 'in progress' status available. Managing team absences within Panaya is also challenging—if a tester is off and their absence is recorded in Panaya's calendar, the test steps should automatically be assigned to a backup person, but this functionality is missing. Additionally, I would appreciate the ability to purchase licenses on a per-project basis, as it would help us better understand the real costs associated with each project.

I find the user-friendliness of Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence exceptionally helpful, as it allows me to navigate the tool with ease and efficiency. Its ability to keep track of everything related to testing is invaluable for our MDM project, as it saves screenshots and maintains a history of defects, which is crucial for rectifying issues and learning from past experiences. I appreciate the system's feature of tracking tickets, assigning priorities, and managing time allocations, which provides clarity on defect resolution timelines and priorities. The AI intelligence that Panaya offers sets it apart from other testing tools like Jira that we have used before, offering features that enhance our testing process and defect tracking in ways that other products haven’t. This comprehensive tracking and management system equips us with the solutions needed to effectively address and manage defects, significantly impacting our daily tasks by enabling quicker resolution without consuming unnecessary time.

I feel that Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence could be improved by enhancing the test scenarios reporting feature. Currently, the reports are provided at the test case level, but having report capabilities at the parent level would be more beneficial. This enhancement could streamline reporting and provide a more comprehensive view at a higher level, which I find lacking at present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Panaya Smart Testing and Change Intelligence streamlines the process of generating test evidence for changes and improvements in SAP ECC 6.
