Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes.""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."

"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature.""We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours.""One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful.""The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on.""The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others.""The tool’s scalability is very good.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."

Cons
"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.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""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.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""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.""We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs.""SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards.""I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests.""The UI should be improved.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users.""Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better.""There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."

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 →

  • "The cost is not that bad."
  • "I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
  • "My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
  • "The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
  • "We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
  • "SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
  • "ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
  • "It is free of charge."
