AA
CEO at Eventige
Fully ADA compliant, easy to implement, and helps increase revenues from purchases by disabled users
The ease of implementation has been an important reason as to why we've been using it and also the reason why our team has been comfortable recommending it. That's probably one of the most important things for non-technical people, how easy it is to understand, what a solution does, why it's important, and how it works. That process has been really simple compared to that of other platforms. To make an ADA compliant website, doing it manually is an option, but it is not one that we recommend given the solution. I think accessiBe has done a great job. They provide the paperwork that our clients need at the compliance level, which is very important. They support the solution. We've been able to get a hold of somebody and quickly when we needed anything. We have found the quality of the product and the quality of the process to also be valuable. The solution can be customized by the merchant. A popup widget can be used to control a variety of criteria, such as contrast, size of fonts, etc. You can pause animations for people who may be suffering from epilepsy, as any fast moving objects in their periphery can affect their mental as well physical health. These things can be dialed off completely, and any movement, videos, etc. can be terminated. There are toggles and options as you go through the menu based on the individual user's needs and preferences. They can customize it and then collapse the widget, and their entire experience will be to that preset until they clear their cookies or cache or reset the widget. The solution works automatically once it's installed, and that is a very quick process. Nothing additional is required. In general, any website that is navigable instantly is an experience that aligns with that user's needs and preferences. The solution has absolutely reduced the bounce rate on our website for people with disabilities. It's a night and day difference. If we need to quantify it, we're looking at over a 50% increase in terms of onsite stay versus bounce. accessiBe has increased the time disabled users spend on the site. If you're able to provide that experience, it's simply something that is a usable product. If you don't have a product installed and the website is something that people can simply not navigate, they will spend less time. The solution has helped increase revenues from purchases by disabled users by at least $50,000 to $100,000 in the course of several quarters in terms of additional business equity. For our merchants, we run e-commerce websites, email marketing, and any other messaging that goes with it. We look to install a product that can save time and money, increase user experience, communicate better, and load faster. We look at accessiBe as a solution that fits into that matrix. accessiBe has helped our organization get out of ADA compliance lawsuits. accessiBe provides paperwork, licensed to the merchant. When a lawsuit is brought forth, it starts the discovery and auditing process. When it hits the web development components of the agencies and the teams involved, accessiBe provides the paperwork that then we can provide to the legal department. They provide it to their to attorneys to properly combat the situation and to ensure that they are actually in compliance if accessiBe is already installed.

Cloud testing has boosted parallel runs and reduced time while still needing better reliability
The best features Selenium Grid in the Cloud offers include the hub and nodes setup, where the hub controls everything on a single machine as the main execution center, and nodes act as supportive machines for distributing load. Running test cases in parallel is a major feature. I also explored another tool called Zelenium, which has very stable features for running tests in parallel without any hassle by providing easy-to-run access. Selenium Grid in the Cloud has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing execution time. Previously it was taking around 30 to 35 hours, but now it is reduced to two to three hours, which allows more time for decision-making. The ability to collect reports from individual machines and execution data easily is very good, making it a proud moment for us with respect to speed and efficiency improvements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The AI-driven contextual understanding when it comes to adding certain elements at the backend of the website is valuable. For a website that doesn't have any web accessibility solution, when you install accessiBe, it goes in and adjusts the actual alt tags at the backend of the website to describe photos and things like that, which is really cool. The overlay is great, and I have seen only a few solutions that have similar functionality. I appreciate this more maybe because I am working at a marketing company."
"Once implemented, our website was accessible to people with disabilities within minutes."
"The ease of implementation has been an important reason as to why we've been using it and also the reason why our team has been comfortable recommending it."
"accessiBe works automatically to make our sites accessible, saving us around $300,000 by not having to pay programmers and increasing the time disabled users spend on our sites by 20 percent."
"accessiBe helped our organization get out of an ADA compliance lawsuit by providing documentation and a website audit that we were able to use as our defense."
"Once we laid out the solution and showed how simple it is to manage and how comprehensive it is, it was usually a no-brainer."
"For us, it's been amazing."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and easy. The deployment can be done on the very same day, so the setup is very fast. If you sign up, then you get the script and can be up and running literally within minutes. Therefore, the setup is a very easy process."
"We have seen return on investment as Selenium Grid in the Cloud reduces execution time, and it saved 90% of time with Selenium Grid in the Cloud."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing execution time; previously it was taking around 30 to 35 hours, but now it is reduced to two to three hours, which allows more time for decision-making."
"We saved about an entire team's worth of salaries with Selenium Grid in the Cloud, which came to about 100k per year."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud has positively impacted my organization by improving testing efficiency, accelerating release cycles, and reducing infrastructure management overhead."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud has positively impacted my organization by being more cost-friendly and providing better scaling and speed of execution than the legacy way of running things."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud has had a positive impact on my organization as we are able to run in an isolated area, helping us obtain healthier results and find common usage examples when we want to implement anything."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud has positively impacted my organization by decreasing the time to test and deliver in production, significantly improving our DORA metrics."
"After implementing Docker and Selenium Grid, I have seen a drastic reduction in execution time, which has helped improve productivity."
 

Cons

"In the next release, it would be great if the alt tag being updated on images just automatically updated the actual alt tag so that it would stay there. One of the things that the attorneys do is they run these robots and the robots go to the site and the aceessiBe is not on while these robots are there because accessiBe is made for humans. These robots create false negatives because it doesn't see accessiBe and then you have the potential to get sued because the robot says that a website is not accessible. It would be nice to have that be able to show up for those robots, and actually have something that says that we are protected."
"It would be good if there was a certified, verified visual bubble, that is a signature plate, that all accessible companies could follow as a standard. It would be a standard visual that everyone could recognize, for example, like the Google and Amazon logos."
"Sometimes, their customer service can be a little slow. Part of it is a time zone issue because they are in another country. While the quality of their support is very good, the timeliness and urgency sometimes could be increased."
"There's a way to customize how the button looks on your website, and that may be a little bit confusing for some people who aren't tech-savvy to use. They'd maybe need to reach out to their accessiBe representative and have them walk them through how to do it."
"Their billing could make it easier for you to cancel their service, if you need to. Right now, there is no easy way to cancel their service. You need to contact their team. It would be better if they had a user interface which allowed you to cancel online without having to contact them."
"In terms of the changes to the backend of the website, based on what I understand, it makes the adjustments while a user is on the website. It would be good there is a way for us to make some of the adjustments permanent. For instance, when a photo doesn't have an alt tag, while a user is on the page, accessiBe goes in and creates a description. If some type of report or email is sent to the website owner so that they can go in and make a permanent fix, it would be good. We can bring in a developer to make some of the changes permanent."
"In the next release, it would be great if the alt tag being updated on images just automatically updated the actual alt tag so that it would stay there."
"The default installation puts the accessiBe icon on the lower right side of the screen, but a lot of products tend to default install to that location. So, on my website, I had to use the code editor to choose a different location (which was not difficult), but it added a few more minutes to the installation. Maybe the product could ask where you would like the accessiBe icon before it generates the code."
"Being open-source, support lacks a lot, which definitely stops a lot of organizations from picking up a solution such as an open-source Selenium Grid."
"The main part is that sometimes the documentation is not clear, and we run into some problems."
"We should have support from AWS or other cloud providers which can help us integrate Selenium Grid in the Cloud more easily."
"After using Selenium Grid in the Cloud for more than two and a half years, I feel that there are areas that could be improved to enhance usability, stability, and efficiency for enterprise QA teams."
"Regarding the scalability of Selenium Grid in the Cloud, it is not particularly scalable when configured manually, as we need to set up several custom solutions to enhance scalability."
"There are many improvement areas I feel that Selenium Grid in the Cloud can make."
"Selenium Grid in the Cloud is stable; however, I sometimes face challenges, but overall it is almost stable."
"There are several areas where Selenium Grid in the Cloud can be improved, particularly regarding connectivity issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems to be competitive enough at this time. Obviously, as new competitors come up, they may need to revisit their pricing structure. Perhaps, they could add more pages to their lower packages. That would be beneficial. The way that they are priced right now is based on the number of pages indexed on Google, and that can sometimes vary. Therefore, the pricing structure, if you are on a threshold, it can become a little hard to predict, which is never a good thing. Therefore, if they could increase the number of pages available within their lowest tiers, then that would be a benefit to consumers."
"accessiBe is very value based, and I think for what it is, it's probably under what I would expect it to be in terms of cost."
"It is priced well. I don't have any issues with it. I think it's affordable."
"Looking at the amount of time and money that web development takes on a continuous basis, its pricing makes sense. Its price is a no-brainer when you factor in the risk of not being compliant. It just makes sense when you factor in the added exposure and the largest share of the market that can now access your website."
"accessiBe works automatically to make our sites accessible. This has saved us around $300,000, by not having to pay programmers."
"At this point, $500 a year is pretty negligible for most of our clients, but there is a tier of clients where that becomes a little bit prohibitive."
