Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.
Faiz Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
You can achieve any complex task with this tool
There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases. For example, it would be nice to have a Selenium plugin available from the menu, where I can select "open browser" and provide the URL. That URL would be immediately open in the browser. This is like a keyword, and then the Selenium plugin should be there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The solution scales well."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The interface is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"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."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"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 pricing could be made cheaper."
"This is an affordable product."
"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"The cost is not that bad."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"It is free of charge."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
