Sahi is a web automation tool that allows testing of web applications across browsers and operating systems. It provides features such as recording and playback of tests across different browsers, automatic waits for page loads and AJAX, robust scripts, and parallel playback of tests to minimize testing time. Key differentiators include the ability to run the same tests on any browser or OS, handling of timing issues, independence from HTML code structure, and built-in logging and reporting.
