MR
Lead Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

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

"I think its excellent and everyone should get it – I recommend it to everyone."
"Customer service is 10/10; Sauce Labs is quick to help and easy to reach out to for information or troubleshooting."
"Sauce labs is an easy to use hosted infrastructure for managing/launch all browser versions, mobile web browsers, and native mobile applications for seamless integration testing."
"We haven't had any issues with stability."
"I cannot imagine our company without Sauce Labs."
"However, Sauce Labs is incredibly easy to use and has enabled me to make some changes so that the sites are (almost) universal across the range of devices and versions."
"Sauce Labs, for the most part, has very little to no down time, so our tests are running in parallel all through out the day and night."
"Overall, Sauce Labs has provided us with a VM farm that is virtually always up and running and has taken the burden off of us/myself of maintaining the VM farm."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"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 is a scalable solution."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"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."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
 

Cons

"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests."
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."
"The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers.​"
"The ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices should be included."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"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."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"It is an expensive tool."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"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."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"This is an affordable product."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
