I remember going to a sales pitch for proprietary mobile app automated testing software . I was the developer looking at this product. It had crap documentation, it was hard to use, and our mobile app was not designed to be testable. But internal efforts to improve the speed at which QA happened were slow. Even though this software was crap, management bought it because it was a problem they could through money at to try and buy their way out of not listening to developers. We wanted to make the app testable and use free, open source tools that would actually work.
