Additionally, test execution flakiness and cloud lab responsiveness require improvement.

Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Perfecto supports a wide range of devices, allowing comprehensive testing across all operating system versions.

Automated testing is highly valued for its ability to streamline processes and accommodate frequent updates.

The video execution feature enables teams to view and analyze errors from beginning to end, enhancing the debug process.

Cross-platform testing is robust, offering seamless execution across multiple devices without connectivity issues.

Perfecto's mobile testing capabilities reduce the need for physical devices, facilitating offshore work and cutting infrastructure costs.

CONS

Integration with other test management tools is incomplete, particularly with HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure.

Performance issues need improvement, especially for web testing and mobile testing speed.

Onsite integration with JIRA is not currently supported, which presents a challenge for those using it.

Accessibility testing remains manual, with no built-in capability for iOS, requiring cumbersome engineering efforts.

There is a need for automation in listing available devices, as this currently requires a manual process.

The reporting feature is really tough to find in some of the other products that are competitors. Having your CITB type dashboard, where we can see the test results and see recordings of each test that passed or failed, is probably one of the distinguishing aspects of Perfecto.

There are a whole bunch of things that I like about the solution, but I really love the interaction it has with mobile devices, the testing capabilities, as well as reporting capabilities that we get from the application. The reports are very detailed.

Their team is really great to work with. They're very flexible, and they always show care. They prioritize our work, our company, and our working relationship. I appreciate the ad hoc sessions that they schedule to provide help with troubleshooting, provide the information that we're looking for, or do a demo of a new feature that they have. They're always willing and very quick to get that scheduled for us. I appreciate that a lot.

In terms of cross-platform testing, they offer all of it, every device available in the market. It covers real scenarios that mimic production so that we don't miss out on any devices that our clients might be using to run the applications we develop. It's been great and very helpful.

The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable.

Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI.

I'm hoping they can support on-premises instances. We have been working on a JIRA integration with Perfecto—and I'm extremely impressed that they have that—but at this time they're not supporting onsite JIRA instances, which is what we have.

If we could run an accessibility test in Perfecto against builds, it would help us a lot. Currently, that's a very manual process for us. We haven't found a tool that can do accessibility scans for iOS and doesn't depend on engineering effort. Having a feature related to that would be really awesome for us.

We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant.
