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 real-time application monitoring, but the technical support services need improvement
They could improve the platform's customer support services. Many users, including myself, have experienced significant delays in response times and unsatisfactory resolutions when reaching out for assistance. The support team often provides generic recommendations that do not address the specific issues raised, leading to prolonged downtime. Additionally, there needs to be more proactive communication and follow-up on reported problems. Another area for improvement is keeping pace with updates to the latest libraries and technologies. For example, Sauce Labs' proprietary driver and Saucectl need to be updated more frequently to support the latest versions of popular testing frameworks like Playwright. This lag in compatibility means that users may miss out on critical features and improvements available in newer versions, necessitating workarounds or compromises in their testing workflows.

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."
"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."
"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."
"Automation test runs are faster now with Sauce Labs."
"So many devices and OSs to choose from, with live remote sessions, we could see real results and real looks of websites across all platforms we needed to check."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the cross-browser feature, it has many android and iOS devices both simulators and real devices. It's easy to integrate. I also like video recording too."
"The Failure Analysis feature is really important for us, one of the most important aspects. What is the root cause? Is it because we have a defect or is it that we have a test case that we need to fix or modify? The Failure Analysis is one of the main functionalities that I am exploring all the time in Sauce Labs... The Failure Analysis helps us to discover which test cases we need to work on."
"Quality was priority from day one."
"Testing subscription videos for on-demand software, making them better quality and bug free for our customers."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
 

Cons

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"That said, our constant complaint is that it is kind of slow."
"Progress towards reducing application testing time can be made."
"Playback needs improvement."
"Some of the new features could be improved, for example, the playback on simulators."
"The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve."
"The way the owner/user/sub-user hierarchy is set up can be confusing."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"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"."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"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."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
