Cons
"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.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""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.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing.""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."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"Reporting facilities can be better.""The performance could be a bit better.""The summary reports could be improved.""From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
