"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."

"The pricing is the constraint."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"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."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."

"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"TFS needs to be stable."
"We encounter issues with backups."
"There are many things that I cannot do, and I have a lot of bugs."
