"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."

"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."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
