Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."
"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."
"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"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 UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
 

Cons

"It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
