Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes.""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.""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.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Pros →

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""Object identification is good.""Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations.""I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective.""The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

Cons
"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.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""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.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing.""I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis.""Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work.""Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it.""The object detection functionality needs to 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 →

  • "We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
  • "The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
  • "There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
  • "Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
  • "Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
  • "This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

    Top Answer:Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.
    Top Answer:I'd rate it around five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, not too cheap but not overly pricey.
    Top Answer:There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language… more »
