• 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.

• Natural-language tests remain readable by stakeholders while executing deterministically.
• Bundles visual, accessibility and API checks that would otherwise be three purchases.
• Strong story for migrating away from an unmaintainable Selenium suite.

• 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.

• Enterprise-only pricing and sales motion.
• Tests live in the vendor cloud, not your repository.
• Smaller ecosystem and community than the incumbents.

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

Enterprise QA functions replacing legacy Selenium without hiring more engineers.
