Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.
It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"While we are still in the early testing phase, from what I have seen so far, I can say the solution is quite stable."
"Availability - Always ON Scalability - Run all tests in parallel Full Report - With logs, videos, and screenshots Easy connect and start up."
"The error logging is also very robust. If we run a test through Sauce Labs and there's some sort of issue, a log will appear on the screen. Log messages are usually heinous and horrible... Sauce Labs is incredibly good at saying things like, 'Hey, here is the exact issue. Fix this and you can run the test.' That helps in getting things up and running and executing the way they should."
"Typically, testing would take six days, and we got it down to one day."
"Ability to run many different browsers and tests in parallel has allowed us to keep our total test times under 25 minutes (even as we've continually added hundreds more tests and up to 10 browsers) and run tests more often, decreasing the time from bug introduction to detection."
"With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won’t regret."
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"Documentation and speed."
"I think their logging could be improved a bit, possibly to include the output that I see on my command line (print statements, etc.) which help pin-point the error (if one happens) more easily."
"The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve."
"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."
"The speed needs to increase."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"It would be very good to see a short example of the code that needs to pass into Driver capabilities, something like auto-generation of this block."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
