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.…

Helps in data, regression, performance, security, and functional testing
ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"The ability to choose from many devices is the best feature."
"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."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."
"I primarily use Soap UI to test XML/JSON requests and responses for APIs hosted by us and our vendors."
"For the money this is a great tool."
"In my personal experience, Soap UI NG Pro added a lot of value to our product."
"For us this has meant increased test coverage, better system security, less test execution time and above all a greater quality product."
"We run around 10,000 different validations, including database validations, and we can complete the entire aggregation in less than one hour."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"It gives us the ability to quickly test web services."
 

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."
"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 "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"The speed to connect to mobile devices needs improvement, and sometimes the connection fails."
"The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up, as I still sometimes experience lag, which no one loves."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."
"The application has to be restarted after being used for an hour or so as it stops working after that."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"The licenses could be more flexible with regards to floating licenses."
"When it comes to scalability, SoapUI has some room for improvement right now."
"Because we are paying such a huge cost, we expect more hands-on support from their research and development team."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"I am never going to buy SoapUI, far too expensive."
 

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."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"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."
"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"It is free of charge."
"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The cost is not that bad."
