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

"Now I get results 100 times faster with a wider range of platforms and different browser versions used."
"Quality was priority from day one."
"APPIUM for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess."
"Maintaining many environments for test is a bear. These guys make it so easy with their CI integration that you can have tests going in after a few hours."
"The ROI is 100%."
"I love the capabilities of it, the support, and the service."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is cross-browser, cross-OS, cross-mobile device testing."
"LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"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."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!"
"LambdaTest is brilliant."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
 

Cons

"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"Links are not present very easily. One has to search for them."
"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 may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions. I know there might be competing solutions that cover more things I'm unaware of, and it could expand a bit more. We've done a lot of automated testing scenarios, and that's all the rage these days, so I think Sauce Labs could look at potential ways to improve and cover other scenarios."
"Start execution time as each time a set of tests start, it will launch a new VM so it takes a bit of time."
"Connectivity needs to increase."
"Speeds up the time it takes to run end-to-end user interface (UI) tests inside their virtual machines (VMs)."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical 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."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"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."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"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."
"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."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"I used the product for free."
