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.…

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests."
"CrossBrowserTesting helps a lot with the responsive testing in different mobiles and browsers and has good tools for our testing like taking videos and screenshots."
"Overall, the product does what we need and does it well."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us real OS devices that are available to test, and we don't have to ensure that all of the devices are up to date."
"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."
"We would not be able to provide our services without their tools."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"LambdaTest has made our testing process less tedious with automated parallel testing."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"LambdaTest is brilliant."
 

Cons

"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"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."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"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."
"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, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"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."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"I used the product for free."
"This is an affordable product."
"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 priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
