Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 choose from many devices is the best feature.""Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms.""The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA.""It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices.""Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users.""The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing."

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!""In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues.""The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly.""Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues.""Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries.""LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more.""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.""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."

Cons
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""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.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers.""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.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics.""If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.""I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes.""It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.""I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool.""I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them.""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.""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."
