We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues.""The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature.""The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests.""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.""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.""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.""I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."

"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros.""We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."

Cons
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""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.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"The integration with mobile testing could be useful.""The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail.""They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack.""Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two.""The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I""Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen.""The solution is expensive.""There should be ease of data manipulation within automation 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."

  • "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."

  • "Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
  • "The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
  • "We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
  • "Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
  • "We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
  • "My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
