• Unmatched coverage of enterprise packaged software, especially SAP end-to-end processes.
• Model-based design means one change updates every affected test case.
• Risk-based prioritisation is a real answer to eight-hour regression packs.

• Smart locators handle everyday UI churn well.
• The escape hatch to real JavaScript keeps complex cases possible.
• Reusable shared steps keep large recorded suites maintainable.

• Expensive, and priced for organisations with a procurement department.
• Steep learning curve; most customers buy consulting alongside the licence.
• Heavy and slow compared to modern code-first tools for plain web applications.

• Test logic lives in the vendor's cloud rather than your repository, which complicates review and branching.
• Run-based pricing punishes running the full suite on every commit.
• Post-acquisition roadmap is bound to the wider Tricentis strategy.

Large enterprises running SAP or similar packaged systems where no open-source tool reaches.

Teams with fast-changing UIs that need maintenance to stay low.
