Selenium is a powerful and popular tool that is widely used for automating all types of web browsers across the industry, and its ability to simulate the user interactions with the web page makes it well suited for automating tasks such as testing web applications, scraping, data analysis and many more. Other than this it supports many programming languages which intern helps easily integrate with existing software systems. Recently selenium helps us in headless browser execution which helps in versatility and reliable scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some common issues we face with selenium are, the tests are flaky sometimes because of loading/sync issues and many more. And sometimes its very slow to run as if we have lot of interactions with web elements and a lot of page objects defined. And the setup part is cumbersome when compared to professional tools out there but its easy to learn and implement. Other than these its maintenance is on higher side and time consuming.

Selenium comes with many advantages, but it is widely accepted as it is an open source and community driven. It provides compatibility between different browsers and platforms which significantly reduces the workload of testing it across various browsers and platform. It supports almost all of the programming languages that I use. Other significant feature that I like about Selenium is it's parallel test execution and integration with frameworks like JUnit and TestNG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Selenium serves most of the web automation purpose, it provides a limited support for non web based apps. Also, sometimes, even a tiny change in the frontend dynamic elements opens a window for test failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

whatnot, many features of selenium are awesome when compared to paid solutions out there, it solves a lot of daily web automation needs in many companies, we are using selenium in multiple projects across the organization and we have created our in-house wrapper framework around it and I can say selenium is reliable in most of the cases. Though it is open source there is a constant updates from the community and lot of new features like auto healing scripts and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it is open source if we are struck by any problem finding right solutions takes time as answers are scattered in multiple online places, community support is ok but if there was dedicated support it would be great. Sometimes slow execution and fragile as well. other problems perse features wise selenium sucks like we cannot automate captcha verification, many more like this.
