Selenium Grid on Windows is very easy to use and implement.It integrates smoothly with other tools and has a wide range of features.We use it frequently due to its flexibility and reliability.Customer support is helpful whenever assistance is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up and maintaining the Grid can be time-consuming.It sometimes lacks stability, especially under heavy parallel execution.Limited built-in dashboard and reporting features.Troubleshooting issues often requires manual intervention and deeper config knowledge.

It is very time saving and makes the process of testing so efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes too much effort is being put into setting up or maintaining nodes, it's especially painful in an environment with many servers, where you have to deal with some network issues time to time. Moreover, each WebDriver version must match browser version so sometimes you will struggle a bit if it won't correspond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is the best, I have been using it in my current company as well as in my past organizations. It is an open source and the best part is it supports multiple browsers and OS. I have mostly worked with Java but it also supports other languages like Python, C#, Ruby etc. It allows to run multiples test scripts in parallel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For each browser and OS different configuration needs to be done, although its one time but any change in the config needs rework again, the first time setup requires a lot more time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Selenium is a widely accepted software test automation technology. There are a ton of solutions, tutorials on how to use it, as well as multiple language ports. So you really can't get much better as far as just how many people are using it and how much knowledge there is out there on how to use it and implement it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Selenium is largely unreliable, and unless you spend a ton of engineering time and energy on implementing solutions to problems like timeouts, and retries, then your results will be unreliable. Unfortunately, the approach to testing with Selenium is often as a black box, with no way to determine what the cause of any given failure was. So, unfortunately, although you could be encountering real problems with say, an item not loading on the DOM, you'll never really know for certain unless a lot of time and energy is put into place to make the testing more white or grey box. Selenium has been the standard way of doing tesing on websites for a long time but it is time for a change in the technologies that we are using to attempt to solve this problem.
