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

"This solution has helped our organization because we can create test cases faster as compared to using Selenium, there are no language dependencies and people are not required to be trained for two to five months."
"It has enabled true end-to-end testing."
"Eggplant allowed us to replace that human work with an automated solution that reduced the time that it took a person to perform the test from upwards of three hours down to a few minutes, while increasing the accuracy to the levels where we are entirely accurate with our timing and tests."
"It has definitely improved the quality of our software."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"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."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"The solution is very heavy, so sometimes my laptop, when I use it, stops and I have to link with it again."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"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."
"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."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"I used the product for free."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
