Automation has boosted test coverage and now supports reliable CI workflows
BrowserStack is able to solve every issue which we have been facing, so I would rate it as a 10 out of 10 in terms of my experience. Regarding pricing, I think the organization takes care of that. I am not really aware of the pricing of this, but I have made some personal projects as well in which I use GitHub Actions for free. We can push our code as well. As of now, I am using the free version for my personal use. For the organization, I think the organization is taking care of the same, so we do not need to bother about it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable."
"The reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"It's an open-source setting that's very scalable and easily approachable. I like that you can plug in many features to my product."
"The product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"When we shifted from our legacy frameworks to the Spring framework, we discovered that Spring definitely made our development easier. One good example is that there is a lot of boiler plate code available that you don't have to write from scratch, making the development of web applications a much simpler process."
"Spring has a speedy development process with a lightweight framework."
"The interface is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature is simplicity."
"The most valuable feature of Spring MVC is the configuration, such as WAF."
"It provides the best documentation for technical support."
"The solution can scale."
"Spring gives you the opportunity to develop architecture in the simplest way possible. It comes with everything you would want in terms of security. If you want to access the database, you have the ability to do that."
 

Cons

"The library could be updated."
"Some of the libraries that we try to use in npm have issues with security. Also, because it's an open-source solution, I think there are lots of challenges with security. So, the security layer could be improved."
"I would like to see compatible versions, and what new features they will be providing. If it is a useful feature I can merge it. If it is not a usable feature, then I can ignore the newer version."
"NPM can improve the package manager. For the packages we download for our APM studio to trigger our APM driver, it would benefit if we could have the latest version of NuGet Package Manager within the package manager control. For example, Visual Studio would be good. Then it would be easy for us to get the package manager from there instead of Googling it out and matching it with the current version. It would be less time-consuming for us."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"I saw some error messages coming up when they were getting problems actually viewing all the reports."
"The documentation for Spring MVC could improve."
"The newer versions of Spring MVC have released a lot of features that we are not using right now because, in many cases, we are limited to running older versions. As such, it would be nice if Spring were to improve support for upgrading to newer versions, especially for legacy applications."
"It can be difficult for a basic user to understand the concepts in this solution, such as inversion of control."
"The solution could be simplified quite a bit. It's unnecessarily complicated in some areas."
"We would like the deployment of this solution to be easier as, at present, it is quite complicated."
"Spring MVC could improve the integration with DevOps and other applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NPM is an open-source solution."
"It's an open-source solution, and there are no hidden fees."
"The licensing cost is around one hundred and fifty dollars on a quarterly basis."
"We use the open-source version, so it is free."
"We are using the open-source version of the solution."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no license costs involved with using it."
"Spring MVC is open source and free."
"The solution is free."
"It is an open-source solution."
