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 support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing."
"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"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 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."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
 

Cons

"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"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 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 the testing is slow."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"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."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"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 free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"I used the product for free."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"This is an affordable product."
