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

"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."
"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."
"It is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"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."
"Good text reading ability."
"Eggplant allowed us to replace that human work with an automated solution that reduced the time that it took a person to perform the test from upwards of three hours down to a few minutes, while increasing the accuracy to the levels where we are entirely accurate with our timing and tests."
"These days I use only Eggplant since it is very easy to use, especially in the function test, and in the UI test, and it's better than other tools."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"It provides 2000+ browser-OS-resolution combinations to work with, which is perfect for our consulting firm, as we don't know what our clients may need."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"I am really glad that there are tools like LambdaTest that help freelancers like me to make sure everything is okay before finally making a website live."
 

Cons

"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."
"We were not able to write code as fast as with the competing open-source software, so that needs to be improved."
"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."
"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.""
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured."
"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"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."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"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."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"I used the product for free."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"This is an affordable product."
