It's stable. I'm serious. It's very stable. Now on the Linux side, it gets a little... I think they need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application, it almost gives you the impression that the application was written in Java Swing. Maybe they need to update the GUI part for JavaFX. There are some times when you're working with multiple sets and clicking in and out of it and you go to click in the text box and it gives you that straight line that kind of looks like a weird "I," because it's meant for you to put that in between letters - well it never switches off of that. So that becomes your mouse curser when you're working in Functional and it gets kind of lost.

So there is some wonky stuff around the Linux side of Functional. The little Eggy box in the corner doesn't always work when you double click on the the Eggy icon and Functional never really pops up. That's because there's another application that is actually sitting on top of it so it won't bring it to the front because something is in front of it. I've already sent it off to Eggplant, but they've got some wonky stuff with the Linux side. And unfortunately, with the company I work with, we do everything with Linux. But for the most part, it's very stable. We don't run into issues with memory leaks or it not loading or taking too much resources or something like that. It is pretty on point.

I would say it's the dog's bollocks when it comes to that. It's awesome.

There has been a question in my mind about the log files, but in the time that I've been working with Eggplant, I've never seen the log files ever get bloated or out of sort, never been an issue. So maintenance is not an issue. That's the only thing I could think of that you would run into, but I have not. It's a pretty sturdy application. They've got it figured out. The company has been around for 15 plus years. I think they have the maintenance side of things down. And they recently merged with Keysight. And Keysight will also probably bring stuff in that will add to it. Like I said, the application is pretty top shelf, it works.

In the time that I used Eggplant, the software crashed quite a few times. Otherwise it was stable. There were some things we had to work around such as waiting for the computer to start up and adding personal credentials. Maybe there was a way for batch scripting to be integrated that might have helped.

The solution is very heavy, so sometimes my laptop, when I use it, stops and I have to link with it again. It may be due to the fact that it is a recording tool.

The tool is quite stable. The only issue is connectivity. The RDC connection might be problematic, but I think the call tool itself is quite stable. I haven't really experienced a lot of crashing, or time-outs, or things like that. The stability could be affected by the number of resources available.

Stability is okay, and has improved from version to version. However, it has not been 100 percent reached, and it will not be reached as long as the software is being developed, used, and new elements are being introduced. Errors and failures can happen, but if you detect them, the support is quick. 

I had a case that they improved over the weekend. Friday evening, I detected a bug, and by Monday morning, it was corrected. From this standpoint, the stability with the support behind it, I am very satisfied.
