Knowledgeable support, scalable, and stable
We use CrossBrowserTesting for testing our web-based applications We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve. I have used CrossBrowserTesting within the past 12 months. CrossBrowserTesting is stable. I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.…

The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."
"The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"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."
"At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
 

Cons

"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"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."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"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."
