Sauce Labs Reviews

Free and unlimited access to a variety of browsers to test your website in a real envornemt not just simulating behavior.

Fast feedback as you can run parallel sessions.

Screenshots and video playbacks that can be shared online!

As we desgin websites for clients, we needed to make sure that our websites are compatible with the major browsers and are also mobile-compatible.

I only tried the free trial so far, so not a lot to say about the cons.

Being able to test on Windows without a VM has been a life saver.

We've had issues with IE (of course) and being able to run my selenium tests without needing to set up a virtual machine has not only made my day a lot better, but the whole process was stupidly simple.

We've been able to reduce the number of applications running on our server, and therefore reduce the processor costs.

Honestly, I can't really think of anything. It's been a joy to use and so incredibly simple.

Hands down, would recommend.

Sauce has all of the wanted features, from just about any major OS, any major browser, and different resolutions. I can't imagine how complicated it is to support such a vast array but they seem to have done it. A client has an issue on FF on 1920x1080? No problem. I can spin up a VM instance and instantly confirm the issue. This helps us bring a new responsive web experience to users and quickly fix strange issues that would literally require a server farm to have each version of every OS!

A more clean, lean, and bug-free site! We know our site works on mobile. We know our site looks good on Safari 8 1280x1024. We know android phones display the website perfectly. It makes sure that the user doesn't get a bad experience which is crucial these days.

I don't really know of any, I wish everything life was a bit cheaper, so maybe that? I honestly have no complaints. They did all of the hard work so our lives are easier and the users get a better experience every time.

• Quick Cross-Browser Testing
• Mobile emulation

As an advertising agency, we need to see how our online ads would look like on different browsers. Before we used the Google Chrome developer emulation tool, but due to a difference between what we saw and what the client saw in a real browser, we realized that something is wrong.

I made online research for a better emulators, and Sauce Labs was one of them. So many devices and OSs to choose from, with live remote sessions, we could see real results and real looks of websites across all platforms we needed to check.

First it started as a Trial account, but now we are considering an full account to use always as our testing tool.

To being with, I had to find a way to communicate between a MAC and Windows machine in order to run tests specific to IE. Tons of stack overflows and, finally, I found Sauce Labs. Simple + straight forward + easy to use + pre loaded + runs PERFECTLY + great dashboard. 

So in short it was fun first time experience, and having 14 days trial really allowed me see the full stretch of how the SL environments are.

PROS: All that I mentioned above + the super awesome tech support guys, who are really technical when it comes to SL's product.

CONS: None so far in my first 8 days of usage. Probably an additional 15 days of trial [just kidding], I will ping/communicate/ if I stumble across a problem for sure.

The temporary storage they are giving is just awesome. You can run all your tests in the cloud on one powerful platform.

I was just surfing to know about monkey runner and selenium tools, I encountered this cool tool and boom. Thousands of events can be fired easily to your device. Purchasing it would be worth it.

None as of now. Soon I will be purchasing ( if my Director approves :P) then i can honestly tell you. The 7-days scheme should be removed.

No. The configuration of server explained properly.

No.

No. The most famous selenium integration is enough to show off your scalability.

4.8 out of 5

4.5 out of 5

No.

Somewhat complex in terms of configuring server.

I was using my local machine only and in order to get my tests on different platforms/browsers I have tried Sauce Labs.

Now I get results 100 times faster with a wider range of platforms and different browser versions used.

It supports some popular languages like Java, Ruby, Python

The run tests are privately secured in the cloud unless you want it to share with your colleagues.

Just great for Selenium tests.

I think it should be a longer trial period with more parallel tests available.

Keynote, but did not use because of pricing.

I recently took a trial account of Sauce Labs for some R&D purposes. Sauce Labs has pretty amazing capabilities of providing huge combinations of OS-platforms and emulators and my objective was achieved. My impression was the the site had all the information which I needed to get started but it was scattered and not easily accessible. Example, I somehow reached the tests dashboard page and I memorized it for subsequent access instances as it was not present in links sections. Maybe I missed it, but then if key information is not placed such that it is easy to find, then others can as well miss it. I found Platform Configurator extremely helpful but I found it only when I visited the Platforms page. Before that I was struggling to find what all information should be put in desired capabilities because that appeared to change with platform. I also liked that Sauce labs provide an amazing 90 hours during trial period which is really useful when R&D has to be done. It would be icing on the cake if Sauce Labs can provide a way to run tests on real devices.
Thanks Sauce Labs, you have one more loyal subscriber.

Since around August of 2015

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.

For our needs, the customer service and technical support come through the same channel, and we've been very happy with the level and quality of responsive support we receive.
