"Appium helps me to do as much as much as I want to."
"The automation part is extremely helpful in streamlining our processes."
"The best feature of Appium is that it allows you to inspect the element. With the Appium Inspector, you don't have to install another application to do the inspection. I also like that Appium has Android device connectivity. Currently, most people use Appium as automation software, and I haven't found any other tool that's more powerful than Appium."
"The most valuable feature of Appium is it supports iOS and AOS and is open-source."
"The most valuable features of Appium are the in-built functionality, which we can use in our code. For example, move back, move front, navigate one page before, and navigate one page ahead. You can do this by using the in-built functions from Appium."
"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."
"The Frameworks feature is valuable. NeoLoad Web and the API are also valuable. It provides API support."

"NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service."
"Simple capturing of dynamic variables and simple scripting."

"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Image recognition could be improved. We have some images in our mobile applications. It should be able to run from the cloud, so we can automate the catcher."
"Stability is an area that needs some improvement."

"Appium has problems with automated validations following iOS updates, causing us to have to validate manually."
"There is always a concern about the amount of code that is required to enhance the automation process. The idea of having less code or no code is what we would like to see in future updates."
"Appium can improve when the case fails, there should be a feature where you can generate the report from Appium. Once you're on a test case, automatically the screenshot should be captured which would avoid manual intervention. These features would be beneficial to migrate to Appium."
"Support-wise, it could be better."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."

"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
