Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us.""Integrates well with other products.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software.""One aspect that I like about Micro Focus UFT Developer is the ability to integrate it into a testing framework as a library.""The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases.""The most valuable features are the object repository.""The most valuable feature for me is the number of protocols that can be tested. It not only tests Web, but also SAP, Siebel, .Net, and even pdf.""There are many good things. Like it is intuitive and scripting was easy. Plus the availability of experienced resources in India due to its market leadership."

Cons
"The tool could be a little easier.""In the next release, I would like to see integration with different cloud-based tools such as Azure.""Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise.""Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful.""It would be improved by adding a drag-and-drop interface to help alleviate the coding.""Object definition and recognition need improvement, especially with calendar controls. I faced challenges with schedulers and calendars.""It is unstable, expensive, inflexible, and has poor support.""I have to keep the remote machine open while the tests are running, otherwise, it leads to instability."

More OpenText UFT Developer Cons →

"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line.""It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve.""The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable.""The data flow can be improved.""It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently.""Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine.""Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly.""The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."
