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 most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."
"I love a good portion of this solution, the stand outs for me are the ability to read texts, and being able to automate anything you wish to do."
"Prior to using the product, all regression testing was done manually for our POS system, and now regression test packs are 70% automated."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool, we have been satisfied with the tool, and not only the tool, but the service behind it, as the tool works as expected and the response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"Using LambdaTest, we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
 

Cons

"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."
"A step forward would be to have event support; supporting different events."
"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."
"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 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."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"eggPlants data input is text based and does not easily conform to data driven test, and this makes data management painful."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"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."
"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 is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"This is an affordable product."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
