Cons
"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.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""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.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

More OpenText UFT Digital Lab Cons →

"The solution is quite expensive.""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 It is a bit outdated currently.""Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved.""There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less.""Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability.""In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line.""The product must provide more automation.""The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."
