Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.
AnupKumar4 - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good stability and robust but lacks generative AI capabilities
Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house. Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily test multiple browsers and versions, as well as off-loading our local environments using the SauceCloud."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"The most valuable feature is cross-browser, cross-OS, cross-mobile device testing."
"Since this is an all-in-one testing site, we are able to take advantage of the browser OS combinations, mobile emulators and simulators, and real mobile devices. This is important to us since we have a variety of users, browsers, OS, etc."
"I never faced any issues with the stability."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
 

Cons

"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"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."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"On a rare occasion, I will come into a ticket where a customer will have reached out to me after reaching out to Sauce Labs, saying, "Sauce Labs doesn't understand what I am going through. They are not being very helpful." So, I try to do clean up there. Outside of those extremely rare occasions, I have only had one or two of those support issues."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests. It takes some time to load the application or web browser. Sometimes, it is frustrating too. Since they are real devices, we understand it takes some time to load. However, if it were to improve, then that would be a great asset to the solution. So, we would like better responsive times when opening applications and running tests."
"We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available."
"We had some specific features that we opened tickets on, although they were not earth-shattering. For example, the way the menus scroll could be improved because it does not have a bar, the way that people are used to, where you can move up and down."
"We have found that during automated testing this can be very slow. This causes inconsistencies with the tests. It's very difficult to rely on a service when you can't be sure if a test will pass or fail the next time it runs. This means building in a lot of sync time into the tests which in turn slows them down. If this speed could be improved then the service would be much better."
"We have had some issues with the Sauce Connect Proxy on our Jenkins servers failing to start, which makes the optimal CI/CD pipeline come to a halt."
"They should provide a JIRA integration plugin so that we can easily log issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"I used the product for free."
"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."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
"The pricing is reasonable due to the amount of diversity that they provide. However, I feel they might be more flexible to bargain based on their relationship with our organization."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
