Automated mobile behavior has transformed how our team gathers and processes customer insights
The best thing I appreciate about Genymotion Cloud is that I do not have to individually take on the burden of having to install the Android OS on individual instances. I can directly use the already built-in Android operating system device through Genymotion Cloud, and this cuts almost 50 to 60% of my workload. It is reliable, and the communication between these instances is easier. Putting them inside a VPC, I could save costs in terms of data transfer by using private IPs, and that is what I appreciate about it. Genymotion Cloud has positively impacted us by helping us gather insights that could then later be processed by our business intelligence team to identify potential customers and thus impact directly our revenue streams. Genymotion Cloud instances help us cut a large amount of time gathering insights because these instances are run for 24 hours, and we rotate the instances to gather insights. This helps us reduce the time to generate insights by perhaps 70 to 80% compared to doing it ourselves or building a farm to perform automation. Using Genymotion Cloud, I can run multiple instances, perhaps 100 to 150 or 200 instances at a time of Android devices running in parallel, performing certain actions of automating user behavior. This gives me an unparalleled advantage to the regular process of generating and gathering insights from individual devices. If I were to install Android OS onto an AWS instance by myself, that would be a tedious process for me. That is why I appreciate using Genymotion Cloud instances.

The network testing can be accessed from anywhere in the world, but the UI needs revamping
Recently, the network testing component where we can use Perfecto on devices has been the most valuable feature. There is very little competition out there in this regard. We use it for 4G and 5G testing of launched 5G and 4G brands. So, the network testing can be accessed from anywhere in the world. That is very valuable for us. Perfecto is very good when it comes to executing cross-platform testing. We have just gotten started on cross-browser testing. We already use Perfecto for the native-application testing on multiple devices. I think now we also use Perfecto for browser-related testing. So, all the cross-browser testing works well. We got a couple of licenses that we use. We can mostly see usage over time using the device logs. This is what matters the most to us, e.g., what team is using a device for how long. We use Cypress, and it supports it quite well. We use APM, and it also supports that quite well. We used to use the native quantum framework as well in the past, which was obviously well-supported, but now we have moved onto Cypress and APM. Also, we have Applitools, which is not open source, but a paid proprietary tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Genymotion Cloud has positively impacted my organization by being more cost effective."
"The advice I would give to others looking into using Genymotion Cloud is that the return on investment is straightforward because on day one, you can see the value."
"Scalability in Genymotion Cloud is exceptional, as we can start with one device, then scale to 10 and to 100 in a second without any hardware limitation."
"Using Genymotion Cloud, I can run multiple instances, perhaps 100 to 150 or 200 instances at a time of Android devices running in parallel, performing certain actions of automating user behavior, which gives me an unparalleled advantage to the regular process of generating and gathering insights from individual devices."
"The best features Genymotion Cloud offers, in my experience, include being a totally browser-based platform where I can open it in a browser and use any Android emulator with any configuration."
"The multiple platform versions feature helps my team a lot because I can catch different bugs on older versions and earlier versions, which is very helpful for us and our stakeholders."
"The Perfecto device lab has allowed us to run tests on multiple devices at the same time and across multiple platforms as well, increasing the efficiency of our testing and saving money, time, and effort while enabling comprehensive testing and high app quality that we otherwise wouldn't be able to achieve."
"Perfecto's device lab has helped us to scale our testing and it has made testing easier for us."
"Mobile testing is the most valuable feature as it has reduced dependency on physical devices. We are located offshore and we don't have the physical devices, and shipping physical devices after every new release would be a difficult task. But with Perfecto, it is easy."
"Overall, it has definitely translated to cost savings and the reason is multifold."
"It creates a faster production cycle and is quick to market. Things get deployed earlier because the testing happens on time. We can do a lot of panelization, so a lot of test phases can happen in a panel. People don't have to wait for a device to come to them. They can access multiple devices at the same time and do testing at the same time."
"In terms of cross-platform testing, they offer all of it, every device available in the market. It covers real scenarios that mimic production so that we don't miss out on any devices that our clients might be using to run the applications we develop. It's been great and very helpful."
"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment."
"When the scripts are stable, Perfecto is awesome."
 

Cons

"To improve Genymotion Cloud, they could add iOS devices."
"I believe Genymotion Cloud can be improved in uptime, cost, and performance possibilities."
"One definite drawback is Google services; we do not have Google Play services available out of the box, which is problematic."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Genymotion Cloud is great, although the pricing is much higher."
"Genymotion Cloud can be improved with better ARM native platform performance."
"Genymotion Cloud, in terms of cost, although it offers a lot of prerequisites for running Android applications within itself, could be improved regarding the pricing point of Genymotion Cloud instances."
"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times. I know that these are real devices that are being projected on our laptop screens and monitors, but if the speed could be improved, that would be good."
"It does well for mobile testing, but when it comes to the web aspect, it is lagging a little bit in terms of execution."
"It would be ideal if there was a complete integration with other test management tools and other applications like HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure."
"I'm hoping that Perfecto will come up with browser testing as well because it would be easier to access it."
"I would like to see the inclusion of machine learning features. If we can have that, it will be a better tool."
"If we could run an accessibility test in Perfecto against builds, it would help us a lot. Currently, that's a very manual process for us. We haven't found a tool that can do accessibility scans for iOS and doesn't depend on engineering effort. Having a feature related to that would be really awesome for us."
"Going by the dashboard or analytics capabilities that Perfecto or Perforce is looking to offer in its roadmap, it will certainly help if they also cater to executing and enabling decision-making, rather than just focusing on standard testing metrics such as execution, efficiency, and defect rate. These are good metrics, but they don't necessarily enable decision-making for SLTs. Any improvements in the dashboards and reporting tools should focus on metrics or SLAs that can help with decision-making."
"Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."
"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."
"Perfecto is about 30-40% cheaper than Device Anywhere. That was a big reason why we switched. Perfecto also solves some of the issues that we had with Device Anywhere. We have grown by 100% since we started to use Perfecto, and now we have devices roaming. When we look at the competition, we would still stick with Perfecto."
"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."
"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."
"Pricing-wise, it is fine. It is not as expensive as what we used to have in the past from HP, IBM, and others. It is decently priced."
"Perfecto's price is excellent compared to other products with similar features. It was the lowest of the three we evaluated. We also established a partnership with Perfecto, so they provide discounts when we sell Perfecto projects and licenses to our customers."
"I am not sure about its pricing, but from our perspective, licensing has been easy. Anytime I have new users or requests for users that want to get added, it's a very simple process. I just give the architectural owner of the product the name and email address, and they're able to easily add a new user. We don't have any issues in regards to getting licenses, but I don't have any insights into pricing."
