Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort
I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

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

"I love a good portion of this solution, the stand outs for me are the ability to read texts, and being able to automate anything you wish to do."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"It has definitely improved the quality of our software."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"We took a two and a half week regression process and cut it down to almost two days of automation, which is pretty awesome and makes Eggplant probably one of the best tools on the market for GUI automation."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is a stable one."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!"
 

Cons

"There was no free trial in it."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"If somebody asks me, "Is it possible, from the first moment, that somebody who has never used Eggplant can create actions?" I must answer, "No, it is not possible.""
"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."
"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."
"The solution is very heavy, so sometimes my laptop, when I use it, stops and I have to link with it again."
"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 biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"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."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"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."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
