ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution.

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

"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"I've majorly worked on SoapUI Pro, LoadUI and Service Pro and found all of them equally useful and very easy to understand tools."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"We chose this tool because it's lightweight, simple and intuitive."
"The solution scales well."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"It gives us the ability to quickly test web services."
"API mockups is a feature that quickly allowed us to have a working API mockup interface during the initial API discussion meetings."
"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."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Using LambdaTest, we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions."
"I was really surprised by LambdaTest; it was a very good service and for the price, I think it is a very good solution."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
 

Cons

"Sometimes it would get stuck, so we had to close ReadyAPI and then start it again."
"The UI should be improved a little."
"The tools that are stated by SmartBear speaks for itself, but when it comes to improvements, there could be a release which only aims for the development of beginners in terms of understanding the tools that are laid by SmartBear."
"For automation commands, it should be able to do what SmartBear is doing with ReadyAPI."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"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."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"It is free of charge."
"The cost is not that bad."
"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"I used the product for free."
"This is an affordable product."
"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."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
