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

"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"This product is a big time-saver, so by extension, it's a cost-savings."
"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."
"With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won’t regret."
"Sauce Labs has pretty amazing capabilities of providing huge combinations of OS-platforms and emulators and my objective was achieved."
"The configuration and options within Sauce Labs are endless, which makes it an excellent product."
"Testing subscription videos for on-demand software, making them better quality and bug free for our customers."
"Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"I am really glad that there are tools like LambdaTest that help freelancers like me to make sure everything is okay before finally making a website live."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"LambdaTest made a great fit here when considering the latest browsers on the product."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
 

Cons

"The only drawback is the speed, it will be good if we have a server in Asia too. It will be great if we can improve speed while initialization and execution."
"Implementing user requests at a faster rate."
"Stability needs improvement."
"I can't remove team members that have left the organization. I can only set them as inactive. It would be really nice to clean up my data and delete them from the team management."
"The complexity of setting up the tunnel comes mainly from the protocols our organization has for getting the approval to implement Sauce Labs behind our firewall."
"My company wanted test coverage for some devices that were not available on Sauce Labs so I still had to manage a small test lab with those devices."
"If too many tests are run in parallel using Sauce Connect, sometimes the tests time out."
"Yes, the parallelization is not possible now when cucumber and junit are used together."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"It is an expensive tool."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"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"."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
