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

"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."
"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."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users."
"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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"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."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"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

"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."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"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."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"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."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"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."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
