Pros
"The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices.""I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable.""BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from.""We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices.""The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing.""I have found that BrowserStack is stable."

More BrowserStack Pros →

"We find the solution stable and scalable.""It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class.""We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."

Cons
"I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""The solution is slow.""Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones.""Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience.""I would like to see clearer visibility.""There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required.""Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier.""One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines."
