Best forNon-coder QA teamsQA teams with coding skills
Who it's not forDev teams already fluent in Playwright or SeleniumTeams without engineers . tests are code and break constantly
PrivacyISO 27001 certified with public security, subprocessor, and privacy pages; no breaches found in sources reviewed.11Multiple public CVEs, mostly Selenium Grid; a critical flaw in an old Docker hub image and in-the-wild cryptomining abuse of exposed Grids.
Support qualityNo clear evidence either wayCommunity and sponsorship only; no vendor support
Public sentimentReviewers praise simplicity and ease of use, though the public review base is small.¹Users value its free flexibility but consistently flag coding demands, brittle tests, and heavy maintenance.15
Biggest gotchaGuess: codeless tests live in Endtest's proprietary format; migrating to Playwright or Selenium later likely means rebuilding.Free tool, expensive operation: you pay for Grid hosting, CI infrastructure, and engineers' time.
