Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes.""The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA.""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.""Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data.""The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature.""I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."

"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier.""One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA.""Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate.""The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great.""The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement.""The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms.""For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process.""It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."

Cons
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve.""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.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact.""I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved.""The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded.""The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution.""Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers.""Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent.""Technical support could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
  • More CrossBrowserTesting Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
