"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"Sauce Labs helps us identify the root causes of bugs. The solution offers a lot of flexibility by providing the latest iOS and Android emulator versions, and even the Appium updates when it comes out in the market."
"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house. Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"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."
"It provides zero maintenance browser instances."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"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."
"The Failure Analysis feature is really important for us, one of the most important aspects. What is the root cause? Is it because we have a defect or is it that we have a test case that we need to fix or modify? The Failure Analysis is one of the main functionalities that I am exploring all the time in Sauce Labs... The Failure Analysis helps us to discover which test cases we need to work on."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"Better and programmatic controls on request/response recordings and sharing with developers."
"This product is not super scalable, because you have a very specific number of VMs that you can use."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
"User account management needs an overhauls, allowing for user groups rather than just a hierarchy structure."
"I can't remove team members that have left the organization. I can only set them as inactive. It would be really nice to clean up my data and delete them from the team management."
"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"Lacks the ability to start multiple tests simultaneously."
