Investment Banking Summer Analyst at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

A stable and easy-to-use product that provides seamless integration

The best thing about the product is that it provides seamless integration. I can use my Microsoft product on my iPhone, so it's good for work and personal use. I can use it across devices since it's synced up. AirDrop and iCloud are the most valuable features of the solution. The solution is easy to use.

Senior Automation Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Has the ability to use different frameworks for testing although it is lacking in capability options

Setup depends on how you are using the product. In our case, it was quite simple. We did it ourselves and it didn't take much time, maybe a day. We used one person per team for setup, usually an engineer or developer. For each team, we had one person to assist with deployment. We have multiple teams so each team had someone dealing with setup. We now have two people working in the company who deal with the maintenance of the solution.
