Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution.""It's helpful for me to test on different devices.""The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously.""It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering.""The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing.""I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience.""The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable.""The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices."

"It is a scalable solution.""LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!""The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID.""This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!""The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel.""Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries.""The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc.""LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."

Cons
"If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close.""Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier.""It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience.""We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.""Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product.""While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA.""Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones.""We are struggling to do local testing."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive.""If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.""Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use.""It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing.""I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes.""I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them.""The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues.""Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
