LambdaTest Reviews

I am not the right person to discuss the use cases of the product since it is the Tech team in our company that handles the solution, while I just oversee the functioning part.

The tool reduces the manual effort needed. In our company, we can automate some tasks and put them into Lambda functions.

The most valuable feature of LambdaTest stems from the fact that it is a service offered by AWS, so it's not a separate tool or something.

I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest.

Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

I have been using LambdaTest for a couple of years. My company has a partnership with AWS.

Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues.

I don't think LambdaTest has any scalability issues, as far as I have heard from my team.

I am not the one who deals with LambdaTest's support team, but the IT team from my company's side connects with the support team of AWS, and most of the time, they get a fair response on time.

I rate the technical support a seven to eight out of ten.

Neutral

My company has not used any tools that are very similar to LambdaTest, but we use Kubernetes and manage the clusters with Azure.

Regarding LambdaTest, I believe that some configuration is required.

The price of the product is available online on the AWS Pricing Calculator, which doesn't involve any hidden charges.

The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution.

I can't comment on why I decided to work with LambdaTest since I am a part of an evolving industry, and the team who did the actual research of the product and takes care of it is the IT team in our company, so the team probably finds the users and defines the use cases for the tool.

My company has a partnership with Contentful, Microsoft Azure, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, Shopify, and many more.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

The platform is easy to use and has a valuable planning feature. 

I have been using LambdaTest for one month.

I never encountered system breakdown issues. 

The technical support services are excellent. 

Positive

I have worked with different solutions before. I chose LambdaTest because it helps with the planning.

I used the product for free because I subscribed to LinkedIn Premium.

The product supports Java programming needs specifically. I recommend it to others and rate it a ten. 

We are testing a website on the desktop. Our clients need to see how the website looks on different mobile devices. So, we use the solution to test the UI for different mobile devices and see how it looks.

The product provides a single platform to manage multiple devices simultaneously. It is easy to learn the product as a beginner. The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI. The integration process is good. We can get a real-time view of different devices without any glitches.

We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity. It causes some problems. Automatic logging out is the only issue we faced. We need time to check the requirements and specifications, but LambdaTest logs us out of the device.

I have been using the solution for three months.

The tool is stable. We faced some slowness in the website because we tested it in different environments. However, it was not an issue with LambdaTest.

We have four credentials to access the solution in our organization. Our clients also have credentials. We access the tool from different time zones.

The initial installation is easy.

The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive. It is moderately priced.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

As a Fintech company, other than Chrome and Safari, we need to test our website regularly on IE and Edge as well. This is because our customers are dependent on legacy OS to use our web-application.

LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility. Our automation engineers are able to execute Selenium scripts in their preferred language, and the cloud infrastructure has allowed us to scale our automation test cycles effortlessly. A majority of our regression suites are now automated, and thanks to LambdaTest, we are now able to find more critical bugs with less manual testing efforts.

What really helped us improve our delivery cycle was live debugging while you automate the tests. We could break the script execution at any point and take it over from there by interactive live for the remaining test steps.

LambdaTest also provides video recording and screenshots of all your tests in their test logs, which makes tracking easier. It offers integrations with Jira and Jenkins, which ensures us better collaboration and a robust CI/CD pipeline respectively, which is an additional plus for us.

Test statuses such as Lambda Error and VM allocation allowed us to quickly troubleshoot any build that failed while executing, as we were able to identify whether the script is failing or is it something wrong from LambdaTest end.

In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues. They even helped us shift easily from our local instances to their cloud platform.                                              

The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive. The good part is that we have relayed some of our suggestions to the support and as per their support team, those suggestions are to be considered as a part of their upcoming sprint, so we look forward to seeing them onboard soon.

We have been using LambdaTest for one year.

Up to now, we have never had any issues with stability!

We evaluated Sauce Labs and CrossBrowserTesting.

In our project, we use LambdaTest for browser testing. The team has one shared account. We primarily use LambdaTest for mobile automation, real-time testing, and real device testing across various processes. We also utilize it for mobile testing, reporting, and API testing.

Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency.

LambdaTest is highly beneficial, especially for mobile automation testing. Because your company might not have access to various mobile devices or tools, LambdaTest provides a solution for mobile and cross-browser testing in such situations, making it extremely valuable.

The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device.

I have been using LambdaTest for six months.

The scalability is slow.

I've used Appium.

The initial setup is easy. There are other team members for maintenance.

If you want to control the versions of your computer or mobile device, you can do so quickly with LambdaTest. You don't need to change your browser, app, or phone versions manually. It's a wonderful and beneficial tool that saves me time and makes it easier.

I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate the solution as seven out of ten.

Using LambdaTest Selenium Grid, we have radically reduced the manual testing effort while ensuring our web application's cross-browser compatibility. It's crucial for us, as a healthcare provider, to make sure that there are no errors.

We had to incorporate a lot of changes due to COVID-19 and our in-house infrastructure plateaued the testing cycles, delaying our go-to-market. That’s where LambdaTest came to pull us through.

LambdaTest is brilliant.

The ease of testing locally hosted URLs over hundreds of browsers & operating systems without worrying about infrastructure issues has led us to deliver better software, faster!

Leveraging LambdaTest cloud infrastructure, we could scale our automation test cycles without much of a struggle. Our automation team could execute Selenium scripts in their preferred language, and the ability to test parallelly helped us optimize our continuous deployment.

Thanks to LambdaTest, we can find more critical bugs with less manual testing efforts.

LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing! You can select browsers, timezone, and country, then run the capability to start testing instantly.

We could scale up with parallel testing in local environments without any maintenance cost.

Support documentations are of good help to run tests parallelly.

Also, it offers integration with project management tools like JIRA, CI/CD tools like Jenkins, and Gitlab, which makes our cycle easier.                                             

Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon.

I would also like to test on real devices, and we have communicated the same to their support team.

I have been working with LambdaTest for one year.

The support team is highly responsive, so they will guide you better.

We previously used Sauce Labs, and we switched for better pricing.

The setup is super easy.

LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it.

We are doing manual testing, covering the overall scope. There are multiple dimensions that need to be tested. And regarding the trouble, like, there were some information issues on certain devices, and that's why we needed to check those on the same devices.

The solution is very handy. And the device support is very good. I like that the technical support team handles it all in one, too.

There is room for improvement in support. The community should extend support. Like, Lambda has a huge community, and support should be available online.

Another area of improvement is stability and performance of the solution. 

I have experience with the solution. 

The solution is stable, but I've noticed some issues with the speed and overall performance. For example, when I'm using my development laptop, and I switch to LambdaTest, the performance decreases. This is especially noticeable when I'm using a dimension that is working on the laptop, and I try to use the browser. In general, the availability of the device could be improved.

Other than that, 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.

My main concern is that the camera is not available when I'm using LambdaTest. However, I've been able to work around this issue by using the camera to check my connections.

Overall, I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. We are three end users, and we are planning to extend the usage. 

There is room for improvement in customer service and support. It's a solution that was implemented years ago, and not a huge community really good. So that's why maybe we can work on technical support.

Neutral

It was easy to set up. It was not hard. You just need credentials and set up the virtual devices, and that's good to go. I am looking forward to integrate it with Slack and Jira. 

It's pretty good to use and to write the code for the manual automation and even for the developers to debug this thing. It's a pretty wholesome solution. That's why we prefer to get the solution. Because not only the testers can look into this, but the development team can also use the tool.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

When we began with LambdaTest almost a year ago, we were thinking of implementing shift left testing to catch bugs ASAP. With browser testing being one of the most rigorous and time-consuming validations, we were looking for a solution that could help us achieve continuous testing through our GitLab CI/CD pipeline. That is when we landed over a webinar of LambdaTest, which demonstrated setting up GitLab CI/CD and integrating it with their cloud. We thought of giving the integration a try and it worked like a charm.

We were able to leverage the Git-based triggers to execute our CI/CD pipeline. So, every time a new commit was pushed from our end, the pipeline ran an automated build over the LambdaTest Grid, which allowed us to ensure our UI on every major and minor release with access to numerous browsers, platforms, and devices.

Integrating LambdaTest in our GitLab CI/CD pipeline allowed us to deploy quality builds faster. In the new normal, where companies are forced to perform remote testing due to COVID-19, a cloud-based solution like LambdaTest has been a life-saver. It gives us the flexibility to run tests from anywhere at any time without being bothered about maintaining an in-house infrastructure.

LambdaTest Grid integrates with a variety of CI/CD tools. It provides a variety of browsers, OS, devices, all on the cloud.

Consistent with browser updates when new versions are released, they even provide beta versions of browsers.

Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!

Their smart testing module needs improvement.

We also hope they could come up with some API for automated visual regression testing.

One more thing is that it would be good to see if Lambdatest can get real devices to test for mobile automation.

I think these features and improvements will be a robust fix to the product.

We have been using LambdaTest for almost one year.

It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions.
