Selenium IDE helps automating a product quickly. Creating and running tests is a cake walk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maintenance of test suites is slightly challenging because of lack of page object framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manual QA testing elimination as selenium has better quality assurance. Very strong user support as it is open source. Easy integration with other testing frameworks such as Junit. Integration with CI tools like Jenkins and availability of many capable webdrivers. Multiple language as well as multi-browser support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of highlighting action for better understanding of process performance. Sometimes tests tend to fail unexpectedly. Some updates can even break your system. We can't run tests with playback on a single monitor; we need an extra screen for monitoring. Locating objects is a real challenge since object locators are third-party.

Multi language support for creating and executing tests, light weighted and platform independence are really handy. CI-CD process integration and can also integrate with other open source testing frameworks. Selenium grid is handy for parallel test execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time consumption is more while running test suites. Bulk test suite can take a lot of time. Low level API doesn't help much in test maintenance like dealing with element locators, error capturing and page screenshots. Desktop application cannot be automated using selenium webdriver.
