HZ
Lead Systems Tester at Government of Ontario, Canada
Reliable test automation, and test data creation with efficient support
The solution can be improved by removing the need for object matching in the framework. The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run. The reason is that changes were made to how it works with the browser and the startup takes some time. Adjusting those changes to speed up the load time will improve the solution.
KK
Practice Specialist at a government with 1-10 employees
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 technical support is good; at least their response time is good, and whenever we ask them for help regarding deployment customizations, custom code implementation, or other code needs, they heavily support us, assign us IT engineers who work alongside us helping with code-related issues, and stay until the problem is resolved."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester, which analyzes the changes in UI elements and allows me to automatically adapt and change my automation testing."
"It helps in automation by using better object recognition as compared to other tools in the market."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"By automating regression test suites using this product, we were able to show time savings of more than 1200 hours in less than ONE year."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Robust API provides quick turnaround for developers to understand and automate functional test case quickly."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"It provides 2000+ browser-OS-resolution combinations to work with, which is perfect for our consulting firm, as we don't know what our clients may need."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"With version 8.5 we faced workspace crash issues frequently."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"The object repository used for identifying objects can be made better. It has been noticed that the RFT tool is unable to identify some objects, due to which we are unable to add them to the object repository."
"If you look at today's current context, I wouldn't recommend RFT because there are far more advanced solutions and products available."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
"If in the future there is no support for mobile applications, then we will be using it less."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
