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.
Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
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 main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"It is easy to set up."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"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."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
 

Cons

"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"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."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"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."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"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."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"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."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
