Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
 

Cons

"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"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."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
