UsableNet AQA

Pros: Complrehensive features to monitor, analyze & track accessibility issues

Cons: It requires extensive trainng to undersatnd the usage of the tool

Pros: - Very clear difference between automatic issues and issues that can be manually determined to be fixed or not. - Liked the rating of issues from easy to hard fix and their priority/impact. - Having sessions with the AQA team was valuable when we had questions/concerns. The team is very nice and helpful, they try their best to give personalized advice, however, beware that a lot depends on the quality of your website's code and your resources to fix it. - I loved the report exporting feature and that I was able to download the spreadsheet with all issues on all pages that were tested. I used the spreadsheet way more than the access to projects/tests via AQA itself. Spreadsheets are more intuitive.

Cons: $7c

Pros: We were able to deploy an internal instance to test products on our internal servers. We can also use the browser extension for quick tests.

Cons: We had some issues deploying the internal instance - but the team is very responsive and helpful.

Pros: Ease of use, and detailed testing capabilities

Cons: description of issues are not always clear

Pros: Going through first time wasn't easy to understand but once you do its quite easy

Cons: UI could be nicer and more modern as just looks very basic

Pros: Web accessibility audit and identifying the content issue is very easy with UsableNet AQA. We could easily run the report on single or multiple pages and identify the issues. UsableNet also provides some tips for fixing the content issue that is really helpful.

Cons: Nothing. Everything I found helpful and there are so many things that I learned regarding web accessibility using UsableNet AQA.

Pros: Can easily find what type of things a webpage needs to have to be ADA Compliant.

Cons: Some checks are repetitive when reviewing multiple pages for a site.

Pros: It is potentially critical to our organization becoming ADA compliant and avoiding any lawsuits

Cons: It is not the most user-friendly - the explanation of certain things which are reported is not always clear and sometimes can be downright confusing and frustrating. Additional clarity on certain elements would go a long way towards improving users' satisfaction with the software.

Pros: AQA is an easy-to-learn tool that allows for quicker auditing, manual testing, and defect creation. It integrates with JIRA easily and now has the ability to test emails and documents. Using AQA has saved a considerable amount of time compared to documenting defects on a spreadsheet and creating defects manually. It has been a game-changer for the projects I have worked on.

Cons: Integrating with some platforms who don't use traditional code can be tricky. The team has been great about finding work-arounds. The downfall is we have needed the AQA tech team to customize the platform for us in order to adequately test the platform our client is using.

Pros: Its easy to use. Reports are easy to read & I can pass of any details to our developers to fix backen issues.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of at this time.

Pros: Ease of Use On the fly report generation Detailed Feedback on compliance issues

Cons: ease of use should be extended for Mobile /Tablet and other devices as well

Pros: It is the best accessibility option for the price in terms of improving your site, learning, and avoiding lawsuits

Cons: the support offered was not technical enough when i would ask questions...there should be standing meetings or quick turnaround on questions. the responses should not create an entire email chain of questions, it should be a solid response the first time with advice/action WAYYYYY too much manual effort and time to go through a scan. nothing is saved from scan to scan so you never can reduce this time. scan recommendations and descriptions are weak and necessitate that you already have an expert understanding of accessibility or you will need to read dry, long WCAG guidelines from the WCAG site, not usable net

Pros: Its so easy to onboard new users to this product

Cons: There could be some better third-party support tools

Pros: The amount of testing that can be done using the program

Cons: The dashboard is not very simple and user friendly to use, the test script should be more navigable and the waiting for reload the test every time I open it is a bit annoying

Pros: Comprehensive feature set that all ties together nicely

Cons: A little bit of a learning curve when first getting started

Pros: What I like most about UsableNet AQA is that it makes it easy to get the team - technological members and non-technological members - aligned on a standardization for ADA compliance, as well as actionable goals to work towards.

Cons: What I like least about UsableNet AQA is the fact that it is just so robust. It's actually a good thing, but sometimes, I find myself lost in the UI because there are so many features involved.

Pros: After a year into our project with AQA, I don't feel we would have gotten this far without the JIRA integration and the ability to create tickets based on the issues found. Managing the volume of issues with ease has been very helpful for us.

Cons: I feel we could have benefit more from real time communication on the software itself. In the event our team had any questions, the comment section didn't lend itself to any direct communication with the UsableNet team to resolve issues as quickly as we liked, especially for more technical heavy suggestions.

Pros: The test coverage against WCAG guidelines and Section 508 standards is on a broader scope.

Cons: reporting parameters are not as comfortable as other tools

Pros: AQA allows us to carry out accessibility audits of our web platforms pretty painlessly. I love how it steps you through the manual checks and also shows you visually exactly where errors appear on the page. Having the 'auto only' options is great too. The reporting options are excellent, particularly the one for stakeholders showing an overall accessibility score and a summary of issues, and the one for dev teams with links into the tool for every issue. It's also really helpful to see the issues shown on a complexity/severity chart – super useful.

Cons: There are some elements we feel could be improved, which the team at UsableNet are always interested in hearing about and will work on improvements if they can. It would also be great if we could run our own tests on native apps, but I know this is a little more tricky!
