Knowledgeable support, scalable, and stable
We use CrossBrowserTesting for testing our web-based applications We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve. I have used CrossBrowserTesting within the past 12 months. CrossBrowserTesting is stable. I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.…

The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."
"The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."
"I can run a page through the screenshot tool, then send a URL with the results to my team."
"I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems."
"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."
"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."
"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."
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"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."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
 

Cons

"A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"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."
"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."
"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"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."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
 

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."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
