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.

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

"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."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"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."
"Using Sauce Labs testing, it is faster and more accurate."
"Sauce Labs, for the most part, has very little to no down time, so our tests are running in parallel all through out the day and night."
"No need to purchase more real 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."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"Sauce Labs has helped us a lot in resolving these issues."
"From an infrastructure support perspective, the number of VMs, browsers installations and versions that we would be maintaining without Sauce Labs would be a lot. This includes not only the infrastructure costs, but also the maintenance costs and people's time. The labor cost associated with maintaining all of that would be considerably high. In terms of efficiency, having concurrent VMs with various browser combinations available has allowed us to run multiple executions by all our teams."
"Sauce has all of the wanted features, from just about any major OS, any major browser, and different resolutions."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"It's a little bit slow sometimes."
"If I had to speak of an area that could be improved it would probably have to be the speed of interaction with the devices. There is at times a considerable amount of lag while using some of the virtual and at times even physical device farm"
"Stability needs improvement."
"Documentation and speed."
"The one issue I have is the 14-day trial that a new user gets for free."
"The connectivity needs improvement."
"I would like to see it work directly with Azure Web Apps so that we do not have to have a separate step to run tests, or setup complex flows in Jenkins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"It is an expensive tool."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"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."
"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."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
