What is Selenium?
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.

What do you dislike most about this product?
1. Execute time is slow. It takes a lot of time to finish all the test cases 2. Scripts written for Internet Explorer always need debugging to work with Firefox and Chrome in an Ubuntu/Linux environment. Though we mostly use chrome in windows to write logic, some of the web pages are IE-friendly.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The tool can be used across organizations in various roles. It's free of cost and integrates well with most of the sophisticated or opensource development, build management, CI/CD, or management tools. Selenium has outstanding community support and is continuously updated to support newer technologies. The availability of lots of plugins/add-ons makes it a tool that can talk to almost any other tool available in your organization. It might not have a dedicated Customer Support team. You can seek help from its wide-open community who are always there to support, but one needs to post their queries on relevant open forums and websites.
