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.

Need improvements ,but has cloud and on-premises options
The solution is not in an optimal state. During POC, we analyzed tool is kept on upgrading. The patch deployment is happening in parallel, things that are working today are not working tomorrow. We eventually sorted it out with help of CSM. We integrated this tool with other software such as Azure client, but many times without a valid or visible reason, the connectivity was breaking. Improvement suggestions- The dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier. Currently, the solution does not support multiple script executions and we would like to see support for this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service: Excellent, so far. Technical Support: Excellent, so far."
"I have found the live test section with Sauce Labs to be extremely valuable. When you can't quite figure out why a test is failing, you can go to the live test results section within their tool and launch your test (specifying a given OS/browser, or device) manually and step through the test to see the issue more clearly, usually opening up the developer's tool console and watching the network calls and console (within Chrome) to usually find the underlying issue."
"Without Sauce Labs, it would be really hard to achieve the software quality standards or the automation coverage that our clients need."
"Of all the services explored, Sauce Labs offers the single best solution for integrating deep automated browser testing in a CI/CD pipeline, and integrates best with Jenkins."
"It's awesome. Its multifold increased our test efficiency."
"Testing is very fast with this tool."
"Currently, the biggest return has been in the ability to re-purpose local environments, previously dedicated to regression testing."
"With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won’t regret."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"Their technical support is awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
 

Cons

"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests. It takes some time to load the application or web browser. Sometimes, it is frustrating too. Since they are real devices, we understand it takes some time to load. However, if it were to improve, then that would be a great asset to the solution. So, we would like better responsive times when opening applications and running tests."
"The only caveat to mention is the availability of the next release of iOS on their systems; their adoption seems a bit slow."
"I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps."
"We encountered minor issues with stability from time to time but Sauce Labs continues to make improvements."
"The session duration is too short; it's only about 3 hours long."
"Provide an automation framework suite for basic websites"
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"Implementing user requests at a faster rate."
"The solution lacks a little bit in the reporting features."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"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."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"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."
"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
