Improvements to My Organization
We provide IT services and solutions, and this solution helped our clients reduce their manual testing efforts to greater level. Our clients have realized benefits by reducing their testing cycle from three days to three hours through Selenium.
Room for Improvement
They can improve test reporting, and more importantly on test scripts, by providing less constructs to automate more complex testing scenarios.
Use of Solution
I've used it for the past nine years. We use it alongside Appium.
Deployment Issues
Deployment is little tricky but with good help from external vendors organizations, can implement a Selenium based test automation solution in a short period of time.
Stability Issues
There have been no issues with the stability.
Scalability Issues
There have been no issues with the scalability.
Customer Service and Technical Support
There is great on-line support from the users community. External vendors have innovative solutions build using these tools where they provide tremendous support.
Initial Setup
It was difficult to some extent, but with good documentation from the on-line community we where able to implement the tool.
Implementation Team
We did it in-house. If you are implementing it for enterprise level its better to seek external vendor help.

Other Advice
I would say start lean, gain small wins and incrementally add more. Example: Start automating test cases for one browser and slow expand to multiple browsers.
