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.

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

"So many devices and OSs to choose from, with live remote sessions, we could see real results and real looks of websites across all platforms we needed to check."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"The insights section provides a great overall state of the automation suite and can identify trends relatively quickly."
"Sauce Labs support has been very helpful, and they are always friendly, even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."
"Running the automation test in the cloud with different sets of devices for both iOS and Android mobile apps."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"I think its excellent and everyone should get it – I recommend it to everyone."
"Sauce Labs has been a saving grace for our company."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"LambdaTest has made our testing process less tedious with automated parallel testing."
"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."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"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."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
 

Cons

"It should provide more examples of script code."
"Not really sure. Maybe a .NET test runner option?"
"At various times, there are high-latency launches, or outright timeouts, but the Sauce Ops team has been pretty good about both 1) acknowledging the issue/investigation 2) working steadily to resolve it."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"The connectivity needs improvement."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."
"As far as what could be improved, I would say the overall test execution 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."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"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."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."

"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"It is an expensive tool."

"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."

"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
