Rational Test Automation

Has any one of you ever been involved in test automation using IBM Rational suite of tools? If yes, which products did you use and why? Were there any specific reasons for choosing a particular product over other products from competitors? e.g., Why did you choose Rational over HP Mercury products? Also, what sort of issues did you face while working with Rational products or, even during their installation? And finally, what benefits are available by using Rational tools over open source tools?

Let us start discussing all these topics here. Feel free to share your opinions and experiences with me. Hopefully, our discussions will go a long way in getting resolved issues faced while using Rational tools.

To kickstart this discussion, let us talk about the latest versions of Rational tools that you have used in your assignments. Do drop me mails with your answers and, as I have already said, feel free to share any issues that you want discussed here.
