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.…

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, the product does what we need and does it well."
"We no longer need to have a full QA team, testing is more quickly and reliably reproduced, and scheduled daily tests assist in catching any bugs which fall through the cracks and make it to the production environment."
"Overall, this solution has proved useful to our organization, and with future improvements and the hopeful addition of devices, it will continue to be a tool we use daily."
"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I am really glad that there are tools like LambdaTest that help freelancers like me to make sure everything is okay before finally making a website live."
"LambdaTest was handy and easy enough to save us a lot of time, effort, and money."
"LambdaTest is brilliant."
"It provides 2000+ browser-OS-resolution combinations to work with, which is perfect for our consulting firm, as we don't know what our clients may need."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
 

Cons

"The speed to connect to mobile devices needs improvement, and sometimes the connection fails."
"I had some problems with the local connection, but there is someone that can help us always on customer support chat."
"Automated testing could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"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."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
 

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."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"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."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
