Cons
"One thing which I think can be improved is the CI/CD Integration""They could add a software component analysis tool.""The pricing has room for improvement.""I would love to see more containers. Many of the tools are great, they require an amount of configuration, setup and infrastructure. If most the applications were in a container, I think everything would be a little bit faster, because all our clients are now using containers.""They have to improve support.""The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon.""They should have a better UI for dashboards.""Visibility is an issue for us. Our partners do not know we have integrations with some of IBM products."

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."
