"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."

"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."

"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."

"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
