I rate Perfecto a nine out of ten. They always have room for improvement, but Perfecto is our best option compared to other players in the market. If you plan to implement Perfecto, I recommend considering if you constantly need to check whether devices are available. I would reconsider using Perfecto if you need to do this multiple times per day. If you're comfortable running a test that points to a single device and only looking for it once daily, you can go ahead with Perfecto. This is the only issue that I feel the need to raise with other people.

Look at the cost of the product and check its feasibility in the context of your projects, and what you want to use it for. The maintenance involved with the solution can be done by one person and the main duty is to ensure that the scripts are running correctly.

I would advise specifically identifying the use cases that you want to try with the solution. The range of offerings that Perfecto is planning to bring to the market seems good. There is a lot of innovation happening in the space of test data management and usability and accessibility testing. If you are not looking at spending a lot of licensing money on enterprise tools, Perfecto is certainly good for starting small and then scaling up at the enterprise level. Perfecto supports open-source technologies, such as Selenium and Appium among others, but we are not using these capabilities. Based on my theoretical understanding and assessment of other tools, the range seems really impressive. Their roadmap is also impressive. It is good to see the integrations and collaboration it has with most of our testing tools. That's really impressive. They are certainly a good provider of services and solutions. We do not use Perforce BlazeMeter with Perfecto, but its collaboration with BlazeMeter excites me. I'm happy about that. We don't leverage Perfecto's reporting and analytics capability, and we also don't use it for cross-platform testing. Based on the size of the solution offering and the way they operate, I would rate it a nine out of ten.
In terms of Perfecto's effect on our software quality, it's neutral. It does improve our software, but there's no direct impact from Perfecto on our quality. My advice about Perfecto is "the earlier the better." I haven't looked into competitors of Perfecto, but from my experience, this is one of the best tools.

It's a great tool to use if your work involves mobile development. It replaces actual devices with ease of access. It's very convenient to use. It's very user-friendly and that's something that I like about, for a user, a tester, or an admin like myself. It's very straightforward. You don't need a lot of automation knowledge to do testing. From manual testing to automation, and even for developers, it's an all-in-one package if you're looking for a mobile testing tool. I love the idea that they have a one-stop shop for Perfecto and BlazeMeter. I saw that presentation yesterday. However, my portfolio doesn't deal with backend stuff. Perfecto is part of our testing life. When we test, we do it in Perfecto. Without it, our team would not be able to perform testing on mobile devices. It's becoming the "backup app" for our web browser testing tools. It's the life of our testing. It's part of it. It's embedded in our testing life cycle. It's the tool that we use whenever functional testing, usability testing, and regression testing are needed. I don't hear of any other tools that we use for testing mobile changes. On the mobile side, I'm amazed at the solution. I'm amazed by how they actually came up with the idea and all that it can do for us. It has been good. It helps us a lot in every possible way that we need it. I love Perfecto. I would recommend it, always.

To sum up, the advantages that we get from this product start with the infrastructure. We save on procurement, support, and maintenance of it. Next, we were limited to only a few devices that we had in-house. We were also limited to only a few browsers. We now get more coverage on the browsers and we have real devices. Finally, the parallel execution translates to cost savings. My overall feedback on this product is good. My advice for anybody who is considering it is to evaluate and assess the product, as well as conduct an ROI analysis, before procuring it. Individual needs might be different. You might realize your return on investment after four or five years. Or, the break-even point might be longer for you. To conclude, this tool is pretty stable and robust, so there should be nothing to worry about on the technical side. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
My advice for anybody who is evaluating this solution is to make sure that for whatever framework the teams are currently using, they are prepared to support that. When any team is doing a POC with Perfecto, they should be able to run all of their edge test cases. Do not focus on the usual test cases but rather, what is most different. Edge-level test cases, which are difficult to execute, should be able to run on Perfecto while doing the POC. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I've seen a lot of new functionality added over the years, a lot of performance and speed enhancements, and I think the product is very good. It's one of the top solutions for device simulation and for users to perform testing. I'm very happy with it and I really like the product a whole lot. It's a very good application. Perfecto is doing everything that I need it to do, and I enjoy using it. Sure, we have a few open issues, but we're seeing timely updates.

I would recommend trying it. Go through the trial period. I would imagine that anyone who does so would compare it favorably to the competition. It may not be the lowest cost product out there, but you get a lot of value from the tech support and from the feature set that is out there. I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is a great solid product for mobile testing and web testing. It has got great features, and we've utilized pretty much all of them, but it still has some growing pains, and it is a little bit slow to roll out the features that we've requested.

We use the cloud deployment model. The solution itself is fairly broad in scope meaning you don't need to implement other solutions. While Mobile Center is a little difficult to install, Perfecto Mobile is simpler for both setup and training. I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's the best tool, but it can still be updated to be even better.
Perfecto is a cloud-based mobile app testing tool that is designed to help test applications on different operating systems and devices. The solution lets users automate processes related to advanced test scenarios and access browser versions and devices according to individual requirements. With Perfecto’s smart test execution capabilities, teams can manage testing across web and mobile platforms using a single script, conduct parallel testing for large test suites, and design advanced...

Overall, it's a great solution. They just need to improve on the slowness. I would definitely recommend it.
