Record and Edit Reliable Test Actions
Forget 1st generation capture&replay tools and coordinate-based test automation. The Ranorex Recorder simplifies not only the creation, but also the reusability and maintenance of recorded steps. Record a template of your test case to further optimize it within the Recorder’s actions table. Connect UI objects with simple or smart actions to create automated tests, without having to click the record button. Define variables for each recording and push re-usability instead of re-recording. Any limitations? Not really. Simply combine low level test actions, such as clicking a button with sophisticated user code actions in C# or VB.NET.
Ranorex Repository – One Place for Mapping and Test Maintenance
Regardless of which way you prefer to implement tests with Ranorex, Ranorex repositories manage all the UI objects you need for automation. The Ranorex recorder uses the repository in different ways. During a recording session the repository is generated automatically. You don’t want to use the recording feature? No problem. Create your individual UI map on your own, and also let your team members reuse them within the Recorder’s actions table or from code perspective. Map logical objects to high level RanoreXPath expressions and achieve the maximum in reusability.
Flexible .NET-based Automation Projects
Ranorex has not reinvented the wheel by providing another limited and proprietary scripting language. Within the test development environment, Ranorex Studio, testers create test suite projects based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, but without the need of being a programmer. Enhance your test suites and recordings with user specific automation code in C# and VB.NET. Allow developers to reuse parts of your automated test suite and to test much earlier during a software development process. Also allow testers to simply reuse already existing test methods provided by developers.

I've been evaluating Ranorex recently. I have 6 yrs experience with QTP and have architected solutions using QTP, C#, VBScript Libraries and SQL drivers.
Ranorex seems pretty good. It is great to have a full programming language at your fingertips, with try-catch, inheritance, class modules, etc. It takes a while to come up to speed in terms of best practices, organizing projects and solutions, passing arguments between scripts, recorded scripts vs modules, using ranorex tags vs xpath elements, etc. Also, you have to sort of roll your own data drivers and reporting tools. That being said, the support is great, and the tool is quite capable.
I'm leaning towards purchasing the product for use internally at my company. I'll be able to share some libraries with the dev team, in terms of support modules for reporting and data driving (they will be using nunit). We are primarily targeting ASP.NET\C# web apps with no big time commercial controls (we're using DHX grids and windows).
I've evaluated TestComplete twice, at 2 different companies. also, we're currently using SmartBear's ALMComplete.... however, I have quickly dismissed TestComplete each time and moved onto other tools.
QTP is great, especially if you don't have great development skills on your team. A lot of functionality out of the box, and a great deal of work is abstracted away from the user (reporting, data driving, global configuration data, parameter passing). I can do pretty much anything I want with QTP, and have extensive libraries developed over time for web based testing, file system manipulation, office automation, etc. However, there's the cost and error handling considerations. Also, no 'run time' version, limited support (but, a lot of good forums) and HP has eliminated the free test driver called MultiTest Manager. I have integrated QTP with ApTest Manager and Bugzilla, creating a Quality Center like suite for little effort. Also, there are a lot of people who claim to be QTP engineers (be careful, many simply run scripts from Quality Center, they don't develop!), so a large pool of potential employees. But, it's VBScript, node locked and difficult to integrate into the automated build process.
give Ranorex a decent shake... if you don't buy it, you'll at least be impressed with what it can do.

We were also using Ranorex
We were also using Ranorex from Last 2 years and their customer support was first class as Scott said and also we can develop tests in VB.net or C#.Net.We can play with the Objects in Ranorex using RXPath(Ranorex Path). (By Linkedin member Naga Sham N)
