Featured Reviews

Michael Hutchison - PeerSpot reviewer
Static screenshots are the feature most often used, because they are a simple method of detecting problems
The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default. Every time, I have to select the full screen, then restart its captures, which seems a waste of time and energy. This is, admittedly, a minor complaint.
Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing."
"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."
"At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests."
"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
 

Cons

"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."
"The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default."
"A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS."
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"I used the product for free."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
