"Selenium HQ has a lot of capabilities and is compatible with many languages."
"The tool is easy to use and log in with respect to other tools. It is open-source. We can customize the product. I also like its security."
"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"Selenuim helps us during testing. We are able to reduce the number and frequency of manual efforts by using scripts."

"The most valuable features are test executor and development."

"For email-based applications, we can't automate as we would like to, making it necessary to bring in a third-party product to do so."
"We do not have enough resources or enough people to employ and hire. So, I'm hiring whoever I find, and they don't always have enough technical knowledge to operate Selenium."
"You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup."
"It takes such a long time to use this solution that it may be worth looking into other free solutions such as TestProject or Katalon Studio, or paid solutions to replace it."
