Functional Test Tools: Adopted but not Used?

A recent Methods & Tools poll tried to evaluate the usage of tools to automate execution of functional software tests. A similar poll was conducted in 2005.

My organisation has no tool for functional software tests.......37% (38%)
My organisation has tools, but my project or I do not use them..19% (26%)
I use tools for functional tests................................44% (36%)

Source: Methods & Tools
Particpants: 268 (147)
End date: August 2009 (August 2005)

There is an improvement of tool usage since 2005, but the results seem still to show an ambiguous situation to me: 63 % of companies have functional software tools, but 56% of participants don't use any tool for functional testing.
