Automation has boosted test coverage and now supports reliable CI workflows
BrowserStack is able to solve every issue which we have been facing, so I would rate it as a 10 out of 10 in terms of my experience. Regarding pricing, I think the organization takes care of that. I am not really aware of the pricing of this, but I have made some personal projects as well in which I use GitHub Actions for free. We can push our code as well. As of now, I am using the free version for my personal use. For the organization, I think the organization is taking care of the same, so we do not need to bother about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to create microservices."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's an open-source setting that's very scalable and easily approachable. I like that you can plug in many features to my product."
"The reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
 

Cons

"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"I would like to see compatible versions, and what new features they will be providing. If it is a useful feature I can merge it. If it is not a usable feature, then I can ignore the newer version."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"The library could be updated."
"NPM can improve the package manager. For the packages we download for our APM studio to trigger our APM driver, it would benefit if we could have the latest version of NuGet Package Manager within the package manager control. For example, Visual Studio would be good. Then it would be easy for us to get the package manager from there instead of Googling it out and matching it with the current version. It would be less time-consuming for us."
"Some of the libraries that we try to use in npm have issues with security. Also, because it's an open-source solution, I think there are lots of challenges with security. So, the security layer could be improved."
