Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The solution is a stable one."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"It is easy to set up."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"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."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"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 is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
 

Cons

"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The execution times are a little slower, and the two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"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."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"This is an affordable product."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
