Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.
It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"The combination of OS platforms, platform versions, browsers and browser versions support on VMs."
"Cross-platform mobile testing. Before using Sauce Labs, I would have to setup a Selenium Grid cluster and install all versions of mobile simulators/emulators in order to test apps on different platforms."
"With Sauce Labs, we are able to cover multiple Chrome, Firefox, and Safari variations to support and test for all users."
"Having the ability to test our application on additional browser/OS/mobile device combinations opens up additional revenue streams for us because we have a larger user base."
"Sauce Labs is one of the smoothest products we've integrated with and currently use."
"While we are still in the early testing phase, from what I have seen so far, I can say the solution is quite stable."
"It provides a comprehensive selection of browsers and platform versions for our test automations and CI/CD pipeline process. It also provides a comprehensive set of virtual mobile devices, which we can configure for our automation and availability. These features are valuable for us when it comes to testing our applications. We have a website and mobile applications that we want to test and diversify to various browsers and mobile devices as well as restore various versions. This helps us to find bugs that users might be facing and correct them."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"Sometimes, it is not stable."
"It's a little bit slow sometimes."
"It's a little expensive, but worth it."
"If too many tests are run in parallel using Sauce Connect, sometimes the tests time out."
"The only problem is that hit that point where it’s unfeasible to expand our UI testing framework as the cost to run a shed load of tests is too much for our business."
"It should provide more examples of script code."
"The only caveat to mention is the availability of the next release of iOS on their systems; their adoption seems a bit slow."
"Sauce Labs' dashboard could be improved by adding more filters and allowing more customization options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"Their pricing is incredibly competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable due to the amount of diversity that they provide. However, I feel they might be more flexible to bargain based on their relationship with our organization."
