I think they do a pretty good job of analysis, and do an OK job on very narrowly defined tasks, but I wouldn't trust them to do any detailed work. Anything they generate is going to have to be examined very closely, and properly documented, before it can be used reliably. And if you have to spend that much time checking and fixing it, have you actually saved any time?
