Featured Reviews

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

"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"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 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."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"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 solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
 

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."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"There was no free trial in it."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"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."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
