Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the dashboard. It's virtual, and you can see the customer results. I can do it at night and in the morning. I think it also automatically emails results.""I find it very user-friendly and easy to start working with. The main benefit for me is that it allows testing applications developed in the Qt language. This capability makes Squish a game-changer, as it's the only tool I've found that enables automation for applications written in Qt. I appreciate three main aspects. Firstly, the documentation is excellent. Secondly, I value the way the tool efficiently locates elements during testing. These are the two aspects I particularly like.""froglogic Squish is one of the most desired solutions if you are having a Qt as a framework and if you are looking at GUI regression testing. froglogic is a part of Qt as a company.""This product can work with QT applications and cross-cut from them on Windows or Mac."

"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market.""Visual Studio Test Professional's most valuable feature is the rich IDE for doing code and test development.""The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions.""Easy to use and easily scalable.""The most valuable features are the SSIS reports, the deployment models, and the ability to interact with other Microsoft tools.""The most valuable feature is the in-built support for C# and .NET projects.""Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution.""User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable."

Cons
"ID could be improved with suggestions of names, variables or class.""The price could be better.""There had been a lot of improvements with froglogic Squish already. There were some scenarios in which this particular solution was available in different flavors. They have pulled everything together in one solution. There were some monitoring systems, which were missing out from the solution earlier. They have a centralized dashboard for monitoring the test cases and their execution. It's a full-blown solution, there are not many glitches in terms of something missing out of the package.""I'm relatively new to Squish, so I'm not familiar with all its pros and cons. Currently, I haven't identified any specific improvements. However, one feature I miss is Git integration within the tool. In my previous experience with Selenium and Python in PyCharm, it was straightforward to create and review changes before pushing them. I haven't found a similar option in Squish, and having an integrated tool for managing conflicts would be beneficial in certain scenarios where collaboration is involved."

"The pricing of this solution should be lowered.""I would like to see more integration in the solution.""Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation.""The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution.""Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine.""It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it.""Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly.""It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
