Selenium IDE is very simple tool to start with test automation, it has record and playback functionality which are easy to implement without having much programming knowledge, automaton test can be created and executed quickly with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not a complete solution itself, it is good for quick record and playback scenarios but for developing complex test cases we need to use other selenium tools. 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 framework such as Junit.Integration with CI tools as jenkins and availablity of lot of capable webdrivers.Multiple language as well as Multi browser support .

Lack highlighting action for better understanding performance of process.Some time tests tend to flew out,Some update even can break your system.We cant run tests with playback on single monitor.we need extra screen dor monitoring.Locating objects are real challenge to find those objects,since object locator is 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.

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 can not be automated using selenium webdriver.
