Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Need improvements ,but has cloud and on-premises options
The solution is not in an optimal state. During POC, we analyzed tool is kept on upgrading. The patch deployment is happening in parallel, things that are working today are not working tomorrow. We eventually sorted it out with help of CSM. We integrated this tool with other software such as Azure client, but many times without a valid or visible reason, the connectivity was breaking. Improvement suggestions- The dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier. Currently, the solution does not support multiple script executions and we would like to see support for this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sauce Labs has been a saving grace for our company."
"Customer Service: Excellent, so far. Technical Support: Excellent, so far."
"Ability to run many different browsers and tests in parallel has allowed us to keep our total test times under 25 minutes (even as we've continually added hundreds more tests and up to 10 browsers) and run tests more often, decreasing the time from bug introduction to detection."
"Sauce Labs is one of the smoothest products we've integrated with and currently use."
"As stated earlier we use Sauce Labs for a combination of automated testing and manual testing. Therefore the most useful features are the ability to run the functional automated tests via a Sauce Labs tunnels which allows access to applications in our internal network. The second most useful feature is the manual side."
"Our machines are mostly Windows. Being able to test with Safari, on a Mac, and other types of browser pieces without having to manage all the infrastructure is the biggest feature that our team enjoys."
"A cross browser test platform is really important for a web designer, Sauce Lab providing a really fast, functional and with good quality service."
"I love the capabilities of it, the support, and the service."
"Their technical support is awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
 

Cons

"Provide an automation framework suite for basic websites"
"The slower speed needs to increase and the connectivity stability needs to improve."
"The connectivity needs improvement."
"Sauce Labs needs to be improved in the different platforms for farm testing, like iOS and Android farm testing and farm testing web browsers.​"
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"Sometimes the tests can pass or fail inconsistently. The tunnels and jobs timeout before the app loads, or it has to try 3 or 4 times to get a good connection."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"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 performance of the tool needs to improve."
"The solution lacks a little bit in the reporting features."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"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."
"We have an enterprise account; it has worked great for our needs."
"The pricing is reasonable due to the amount of diversity that they provide. However, I feel they might be more flexible to bargain based on their relationship with our organization."
"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
