We performed a comparison between BrowserStack, Galen Framework, and Sauce Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It's helpful for me to test on different devices."
"The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."
"Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable."
"I like that it offers full device capability."
"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 product guides and resources are extensive and very helpful."
"Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."
"What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally."
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"Our machines are mostly Windows. Being able to test with Safari, on a Mac, and other types of browser pieces without having to manage all the infrastructure is the biggest feature that our team enjoys."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"The solution they provide is very robust. We can quickly connect to their environment with the hub URL. They have a URL that has the entire grid of desktops, web browsers, and mobile devices. They also provide real devices, so you just provide the URL and test your application."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily test multiple browsers and versions, as well as off-loading our local environments using the SauceCloud."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."
"We are struggling to do local testing."
"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."
"Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier."
"BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The solution is slow."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"We had some specific features that we opened tickets on, although they were not earth-shattering. For example, the way the menus scroll could be improved because it does not have a bar, the way that people are used to, where you can move up and down."
"I may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions. I know there might be competing solutions that cover more things I'm unaware of, and it could expand a bit more. We've done a lot of automated testing scenarios, and that's all the rage these days, so I think Sauce Labs could look at potential ways to improve and cover other scenarios."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"Latency, due to Sauce Labs being a cloud-based solution, has been a concern. We work in different continents and countries, but last time I checked, Sauce Labs was only offering two data centers, one in the EU and another in the US. If you're not in either of those two places, you would have latency and issues running your test cases."
"Unable to segregate reports for tests that are currently being developed, and might not be returning useful results."
