"The cost is the most important factor in this tool."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT Developer is the flexibility to work with many different types of software."
"This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"The most valuable features are the SSIS reports, the deployment models, and the ability to interact with other Microsoft tools."

"With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine."

For example, if the test at our side will take 10 minutes, another tool will do that in one minute."
