Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market.""Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""It's helpful for me to test on different devices.""It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it.""Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable.""Maintenance of the solution is easy.""The integration is very good."

"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries.""The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly.""The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel.""The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily.""The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID.""The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc.""Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration.""LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."

Cons
"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product.""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.""It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience.""Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier.""If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close.""We had some execution issues.""We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.""BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive.""I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes.""Their smart testing module needs improvement.""Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.""It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.""Mobile application testing would be helpful for us.""If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.""LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
