I'm not sure whether it was sibelius of fine ale but I saw someone inputting through a chromatic keyboard. Of course, the software had nothing precise to sync to so the result was, yes, basically what was played but with the note durations represented exactly. So if the guy held the note a tiny bit over a quarternote value, the software gave a quarternote tied to a 16th tied to a 32nd, tied to a 64th, etc.
And he was left to sort out the mess at the end. Apparently he could snap it to a grid or something but that had the opposite effect.
And rubato just doesn't work.
But...I have to admit that if you like composing by improvising and getting notated music out, and don't mind clearing up, this is the way forward.

Both can do it, IIRC. I use it a lot in finale, it's great and really fast if you can play the part
