"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing.""The product is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation.

Cons
"There is not a central management for static and dynamic.""Many silly false positives are produced.""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.""Visibility is an issue for us. Our partners do not know we have integrations with some of IBM products.""They have to improve support.""HCL AppScan needs to improve security.""The penetration testing feature should be included.""We would like to see a check in the specific vulnerabilities in mobile applications or rooted devices, such as jailbreaking devices."

"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.""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.""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.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."
