Head of Digital & Cognitive Services at a tech company with 11-50 employees
A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.
AnupKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior QA Automation Engineer at Xoriant
Offers good stability and robust but lacks generative AI capabilities
Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

Pros

"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"What I like the most is the cloud running the automation test with the help of a number of devices."
"With Sauce Labs, we have a whole universe of devices: Galaxy, all the iPhones, and all the operating system versions. All our software developers are able to test on a multitude of different devices."
"Sauce Labs support has been very helpful, and they are always friendly, even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."
"Sauce Labs has helped us to resolve the issue of testing our automation cases across a big combination of OS versions and different screen sizes using real hardware."
"Now we have more combinations that we had before and don't have to worry about scaling our script execution ourselves."
"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house, as Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"Sauce Labs has been a saving grace for our company."
"Typically, testing would take six days, and we got it down to one day."
 

Cons

"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"I may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions. I know there might be competing solutions that cover more things I'm unaware of, and it could expand a bit more. We've done a lot of automated testing scenarios, and that's all the rage these days, so I think Sauce Labs could look at potential ways to improve and cover other scenarios."
"Start execution time as each time a set of tests start, it will launch a new VM so it takes a bit of time."
"Sauce Labs' dashboard could be improved by adding more filters and allowing more customization options. There was one instance where the dashboard on the Sauce Labs UI didn't meet our requirements, so we had to use the Sauce Labs API to create some apps and dashboards on our own. The API endpoints could be a little more robust and customizable."
"Provide an automation framework suite for basic websites"
"My company wanted test coverage for some devices that were not available on Sauce Labs so I still had to manage a small test lab with those devices."
"Sauce Labs was very easy to use for its basic needs, but using Sauce Connect was very confusing."
"Speeds up the time it takes to run end-to-end user interface (UI) tests inside their virtual machines (VMs)."
"It should provide more examples of script code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"The pricing is reasonable due to the amount of diversity that they provide. However, I feel they might be more flexible to bargain based on their relationship with our organization."
"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 did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"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"."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
