"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."

"Selenium web driver - Java."
"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up. We had one that got to 200K, and it bogged our whole machine down. We couldn't figure out what was going on until we found out that we had a 200K file sitting out there. We would like some sort of maintenance on the log files going forward."
"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations. This could be improved upon. We would like fewer version changes and upgrades happening to the application. While the downtime is not that much, depending on the business processes, there are times few critical processes are running on a daily or hourly basis. We would expect the downtime to be even less for them."
"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."
"They could improve the environmental stabilizing issues. There are a lot of environmental issues when rolling over from one environment to another, higher environment. This is the one thing they definitely need to look into."
"The Automation Anywhere Control room component features can be improved, as of now it contains too many roles and rules which makes it confusing to use it."

"Automation Anywhere's UI is difficult. Its user interface can be improved."
"One of the challenges that I face every now and then while working with A2019, is around the bot agent updates. Every week/alternate weeK, I receive an error while running my bots, that asks me to update the bot agent."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"Selenium HQ can be complex. The interface requires a QA engineer or an expert to use it."
"Technical support isn't very good. Sometimes their recommendations were not very clear."

"You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup."
