We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
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.""Maintenance of the solution is easy.""The setup was quite simple. The website easily explains how to set it up and if you want to integrate it with BMP tools there are online simple step tutorials.""It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering.""We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""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."

"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others.""The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.""The solution offers excellent integration capabilities.""The interface is user-friendly.""ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing.""The solution has some good scanning features.""It's a very simple solution to use."

Cons
"Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""We are struggling to do local testing.""We had some execution issues.""If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally.""BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better.""If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating.""We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs.""The UI could be a bit more flexible.""SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards.""Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy.""Could integrate the graphing module for load testing.""The current interface is unsatisfactory."
