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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Maintaining many environments for test is a bear. These guys make it so easy with their CI integration that you can have tests going in after a few hours."
"Sauce Labs has been a saving grace for our company."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"Customer Service: Sauce support has been very helpful -- always friendly, pretty prompt, and thorough, too -- even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"Sauce labs is an easy to use hosted infrastructure for managing/launch all browser versions, mobile web browsers, and native mobile applications for seamless integration testing."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Some of the new features could be improved, for example, the playback on simulators."
"The speed needs to increase."
"The only caveat to mention is the availability of the next release of iOS on their systems; their adoption seems a bit slow."
"If too many tests are run in parallel using Sauce Connect, sometimes the tests time out."
"They should provide a JIRA integration plugin so that we can easily log issues."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development."
"The session duration is too short; it's only about 3 hours long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"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."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"It is an expensive tool."
