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 would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The solution is a stable one."
"It is easy to set up."
"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'."
"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."
"It has definitely improved the quality of our software."
"The OCR (Optical Character Cognition) is a very useful feature."
"LambdaTest made a great fit here when considering the latest browsers on the product."
"Using LambdaTest, we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"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."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"A step forward would be to have event support; supporting different events."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application, it almost gives you the impression that the application was written in Java Swing."
"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."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured."
"It has low productivity."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"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."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"This is an affordable product."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
