Good in the area of automation and offers a high test coverage to users
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult."
  • "I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company for business transformation, specifically for IT business transformation projects where a customer wants to transfer their legacy applications to the cloud and modernize them using mobile apps. My company takes enterprise-level applications to the cloud.

What needs improvement?

I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product. Accessibility testing is an area of concern where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using BrowserStack for five years. I am a user of the tool.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Earlier, my company used to use Keynote Device Anywhere and OpenDev. My company moved from our previous products to BrowserStack since a lot of people use it. My company also found BrowserStack to have a lot of advantages over our previous tools.

881,082 professionals have used our research since 2012.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses.

What other advice do I have?

I integrated BrowserStack into our company's web and application test workflows because it has plugins that work with browsers and applications, allowing for cross-browser testing. 

BrowserStack was really helpful for cross-browser testing in areas involving mobiles, web applications, or tablets. The tool can help with the testing across all applications.

I have not experienced any time-saving feature from the use of the tool.

My company uses the product for real-device testing since it has a bunch of devices in our library. My company has a repository where we do manual testing.

BrowserStack improved the quality of our company's applications.

Improvements I have seen with the testing part revolve around the fact that it is able to do testing at a fast pace. The quality of the product is better since it can go through all the parts of the applications, meaning it can provide high test coverage. The tool is also good in the area of automation. The test coverage is higher, and the time taken during the testing phase is less due to automation.

I have not used the product's integration capabilities since my company doesn't have the option to look at other QA testing tools like Selenium, which can be used for the automation capabilities provided.

The product should offer more support for cross-browser testing, device testing, and testing across multiple devices.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A user-friendly tool for performance testing
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution."
  • "There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for performance testing.

What needs improvement?

The issue with the product stems from the fact that when we try to do a single or multiple login on multiple browsers for simulation in scenarios where users use Chrome, Mozilla, and Edge, all browsers are open at the same time, and login has to be done separately. My company has added a minimum of two and a maximum of five users to the license. In my company, when all of us start device testing at the same time, one of the devices stops working, or some slowness or lag happens. There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with BrowserStack.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

My company connected with the technical staff of the product when we were having issues connecting and uploading IPF files for Apple devices; after having a conversation with the support staff of BrowserStack, our company's issues related to the product resolved since we only needed some licenses from iOS. After the issues were resolved by the support team, my company was good to go with the product. The technical support team is very good since they immediately respond and resolve our company's issues.

I rate the support team a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The setup phase of the product was quite easy, and it is a very user-friendly application, which I found to be very useful.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Though I knew about some other products in the market, I chose BrowserStack since I wanted it for device testing.

My company was working with Push Notifications, and we tested it on multiple devices. My company works with BrowserStack since it provides accessibility and helps the area of load testing to see the responses to a load from our end to check whether it is visible in that particular second or not.

What other advice do I have?

I integrate BrowserStack into web or app testing workflows. My company uses an IPF file or APK file, which we use to install applications on the devices in BrowserStack, after which we do the load testing.

The product helps with cross-browser testing since our company's applications are open source, so we use a link to open such applications on different devices.

My company has also used the product for version testing to see which Android versions support our company's applications. The product has made accessibility easy for my company.

BrowserStack helped improve the quality of our company's applications, especially in the areas of accessibility and resolutions. For UI purposes, it is very good. UI and version support are important since some of the features are not supported on lower versions of the Android application. Some of my company's applications are not supported in a higher version of Android application. The aforementioned issues were resolved on different device systems with the help of BrowserStack.

The real device testing and simulation offered by the product work, but I have seen a small difference between the responses I received from both. With the product, my company gets instant messages or instant installation of applications along with procedures on a real device, but the simulation takes some seconds more or extra time than the area of real device testing.

The tool does improve the quality of our company's products since we have checked it on different devices and resolutions, after which we have seen that we have improved in many areas, including our actual applications. In general, the product does improve the devices.

BrowserStack has a feature that allows the automation of uploading and downloading HAR files, but I have never used it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for the manual testing of mobile applications.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices. 

The solution's UI is intuitive.

What needs improvement?

We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.

I would like to have more online video demonstrations on how to use the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year.

A widely used solution with a good model device factory but may be difficult for a new user to understand
Pros and Cons
  • "We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices."
  • "It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience."

What is our primary use case?

We decided to use BrowserStack to analyze how the device works.

How has it helped my organization?

BrowserStack is widely used across the market and has a large community. So if we have any questions on how to integrate it, we have a wide range of engineers we can ask. A competitor Sauce Labs, was very popular five years ago, but people are not as confident with that solution as they are with BrowserStack.

What is most valuable?

We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices. For example, Samsung mobile phones. Usually, you have to have a wide range of EL devices which is expensive for almost all applications in the hybrid model. Hybrid model applications mostly have problems with the latest devices and versions of operating systems. So, BrowserStack is ahead of the competition in regard to integration with the latest operating systems on mobile devices.

What needs improvement?

It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience. We want to see the EZT for testers that can be easily applicable to solutions. It has been done in AWS, where you open the AWS docs and can download to read all the information about the features and supported languages. This will make it more comfortable for those without experience with the integration.

Regarding additional features, we would like an EZT for testers that can be easily applicable to their solutions. It has been done in AWS, where we just open the AWS docs and can download all the information about features and supported languages.

BrowserStack is deployed on cloud, and we have ten people using this solution in my organization. We completed the deployment in-house.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the latest version for two weeks of active usage.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There have been complaints about the stability of a test versus a BrowserStack, but no real proof of that, so it may be too early to rate the stability since we just started using the solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

How are customer service and support?

We have not needed technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have used Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, EZ2, and Java.

How was the initial setup?

I rate the setup a four out of ten.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for BrowserStack is fine. However, I am not involved in the licensing decisions, so I do not have specific details.

What other advice do I have?

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. Regarding advice, using BrowserStack depends on your needs and budget; if it is suitable based on your needs and budget, proceed to use it.

Helpful application testing features, but network issues could be improved to support our execution
Pros and Cons
  • "Maintenance of the solution is easy."
  • "We had some execution issues."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for the solution is working on web applications, and there are also mobile, Android and IOS in BrowserStack. So, we have it in different languages and execute the parallel execution and migration. So, when executing more than 500 cases for the regularization pack, we get high success ratings for internal use.

What is most valuable?

We find the application testing features valuable.

What needs improvement?

We had some execution issues, and you would like to move to the Sauce Labs. We are based out of India and need 100% bandwidth for testing. So, on some days, we have low bandwidth, and on other days a high bandwidth. So network issues could be improved to support our execution.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable, and we have not had any issues with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. I rate it a seven out of ten. Approximately 20 users are utilizing the solution.

How are customer service and support?

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. The study is minimal, and when we have issues like a parallel solution failing, we reach out to the support team, and within two days, they respond to us. Additionally, they can connect the demos and solve them and teach us how to use BrowserStack for our web or mobile applications. I rate the customer service and support team an eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I was not involved in the initial setup, but maintenance of the solution is easy.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. The solution is good but is not fully developed and can be improved by enhancing its network connections to avoid network issues. I recommend the solution to users considering it and advise them to understand their use case first and how to utilize the solution.
