Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""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.""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.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices.""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 am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."

"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features.""SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly.""The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on.""Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature.""The tool’s scalability is very good.""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."

Cons
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing.""The UI should be improved.""If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating.""SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it.""SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts.""Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."

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."
