• 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.

• Genuinely usable by non-technical staff — the flowchart model is easier than any script-behind-a-recorder approach.
• Covers Citrix, virtual desktop and mainframe environments that most tools cannot touch.
• Doubles as an RPA platform, which can consolidate two budgets.

• 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.

• Flowcharts do not diff or merge, so version control is essentially unusable.
• Complex logic becomes an unreadable sprawl of blocks.
• Enterprise pricing with no small-team entry point.

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

Enterprises where business users must own automation and Citrix or mainframe is in scope.
