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 overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"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."
"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."
"Sauce Labs is a reliable vendor, and you can trust their network."
"Testing is now easier and faster."
"Parallel test execution helped us a lot to reduce test time."
"Running the automation test in the cloud with different sets of devices for both iOS and Android mobile apps."
"The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps."
"Simple + straight forward + easy to use + pre loaded + runs PERFECTLY + great dashboard."
"No longer have to manage VMs for testing."
 

Cons

"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"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."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Another aspect that could be improved is having the virtual devices boot up a little quicker. Sometimes we wait up to a minute before a device is available. It would be nice if that was 30 seconds or so."
"Some of the new features could be improved, for example, the playback on simulators."
"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."
"I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
"Implementing user requests at a faster rate."
"The Jenkins Sauce OnDemand plugin could have more options available to tap into more of the custom capabilities Sauce Labs actually supports."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
"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."
"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 number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"It is an expensive tool."
