"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."

"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet."
"When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"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."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
