Offers good stability and robust but lacks generative AI capabilities
Technical support is equally very important. If you talk about anything deployed to production, and the project is live, customers are using that, and they might face some issues, some functional issues. That's when support people play a role in identifying the fix or the incident. Based on that, we create an incident based on the customer defect or whatever. Once the incident gets raised, the support will play a role in working on that particular incident. If it's a code-based incident, administration, or integration issue, support people play a big role in resolving those issues before reaching the exact developers.

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

"However, Sauce Labs is incredibly easy to use and has enabled me to make some changes so that the sites are (almost) universal across the range of devices and versions."
"Sauce Labs, for the most part, has very little to no down time, so our tests are running in parallel all through out the day and night."
"The most valuable feature is cross-browser, cross-OS, cross-mobile device testing."
"Sauce Labs support has been very helpful, and they are always friendly, even when it's not always a direct problem with their service or our usage of it."
"Of all the services explored, Sauce Labs offers the single best solution for integrating deep automated browser testing in a CI/CD pipeline, and integrates best with Jenkins."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests"
"It improved our organisation by reducing escaped bugs."
"Sauce Labs has helped us a lot in resolving these issues."
"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."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"It’s good to see, now that we are using LambdaTest, we can run multiple tests on multiple VMs, saving us hours of testing time and the maintenance cost of local infrastructure."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive."
"Sauce Labs can include new technologies like generative AI capabilities."
"Documentation and speed."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"Sauce Labs has room for improvement with its price point."
"Yes, the parallelization is not possible now when cucumber and junit are used together."
"The speed can be a little slow, but other than that it's great."
"Getting accurate pass/fail results when running TestNG scripts in parallel by class is a challenge but after some work we figured out a solution."
"The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Analytics could be better because as of now, it gives basic information on test status and build status."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"For us, Cypress! It looks like the support for Cypress is not there."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive tool."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"We did initially go with Sauce Labs because of the pricing and integration."
"Cost-wise, it's decent. If you have to get the base version out of it, it's the best solution to go with. As compared to other cloud service providers, the pricing of Sauce Labs is decent."
"When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"I used the product for free."
