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.…
Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"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."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
 

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 speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"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."
"A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"I used the product for free."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
