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.…

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps to speed up the process to test the product in different devices and browsers, making it easy to troubleshoot some 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."
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those."
"I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."
"The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure."
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."
"Overall, this solution has proved useful to our organization, and with future improvements and the hopeful addition of devices, it will continue to be a tool we use daily."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives us real OS devices that are available to test, and we don't have to ensure that all of the devices are up to date."
"LambdaTest made a great fit here when considering the latest browsers on the product."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"LambdaTest is a saving soldier for our company by offering us thousands of browsers and platforms to test on the cloud."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"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."
"LambdaTest has helped me gain more customers."
 

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."
"The speed to connect to mobile devices needs improvement, and sometimes the connection fails."
"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."
"Automated testing could be improved."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up, as I still sometimes experience lag, which no one loves."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"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."
"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"This is an affordable product."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
