Cons

"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"The learning curve of the solution's user interface is a little high for new users."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
