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

"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"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."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"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."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"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."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"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."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"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."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"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."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"I used the product for free."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
