Cross-platform testing and faster execution enhance testing efficiency
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

"I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices."
"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."
"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."
"CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"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 technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"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."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"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."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"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."
"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."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
