Don't worry about anything. Just go for it. There will not be an issue, as far as you know what you are buying and how you want to use it. Go for it, the platform is good. I rate the solution eight out of ten due to some areas needing improvement. I rate the overall solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms."
"The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
 

Cons

"It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"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."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"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."
"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."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"This is an affordable product."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
