I'm not familiar with this product, but it seems that is allows you to record actions and reply them, using image recognition or skipping client and sending network commands directly.
This is what people usually imagine by "automated test", because it basically means replacing a human tester with a script, except the fact that the tester can use his/her brain to decide whether something succeeded, what to do next etc.
On the other hand, it's a poor choice for automation, because:
From my opinion, this is a kind of testing that you should consider when you already have all easier, faster and more reliable tests in place, you have experience with test automation and you want to get rid of the last manually intervention in integration and UI tests. If this is your first attempt for automated testing, it will very likely fail (you won't achieve it at all or maintenance cost will negate all gains) and people often give up automated testing completely because of this experience. But the problem was that they knew nothing about automatic testing and therefore they made wrong decisions.

Testing is a very broad area. There are many activities (planning, design, execution etc.), many different types of tests (automated unit, static analysis, integration tests, load tests, UX testing and so on and so on), many different test strategies and methodologies and no one is the best, because it always depends on situation...
Regarding tools, they exist just to help with the particular task or type of test that you're actually performing, therefore a tool critical for somebody may not be used at all by somebody else.
Therefore you'll have to tell us at least what you want to test.
