Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort
I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

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

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The OCR (Optical Character Cognition) is a very useful feature."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"We took a two and a half week regression process and cut it down to almost two days of automation, which is pretty awesome and makes Eggplant probably one of the best tools on the market for GUI automation."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"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."
"Prior to using the product, all regression testing was done manually for our POS system, and now regression test packs are 70% automated."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"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."
"LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"LambdaTest has helped me gain more customers."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
 

Cons

"The IDE could be even more full-featured."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"We were not able to write code as fast as with the competing open-source software, so that needs to be improved."
"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."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably has a yearly license."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"I used the product for free."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"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."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
