What is most valuable?
Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access.

Selenium HQ doesn't have any self-healing capabilities. It would also be improved with the ability to input multiple identifiers and quickly search the content. In the future, Selenium HQ should include machine learning features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Selenium HQ for seven to eight years.
