We performed a comparison between LambdaTest and Sauce Labs based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Sauce Labs is the winner in this comparison. It is reliable, scalable, robust, and has excellent management features. In addition, Sauce Labs users report a significant ROI. LambdaTest does come out on top in the pricing category, however.
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"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."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"Before implementing Sauce Labs, we tested physical devices that team members had to share. It was more feasible when we were all located in one office, but we couldn't leverage our offshore capacity. With this solution, we can do everything remotely, which is essential now that most of us work from home."
"Testing my app on cloud has really helped us with save time and resources to procure various hardware and software, and set those up."
"I find that the multitude of browser and OS versions are very helpful for broadening testing scope."
"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."
"Sauce Labs is optimized for automation and integration with the major CI/CD platforms and developer tools. We have an integration with App Center that we're working on. They have a storage API that lets us retrieve APK and IPA, iOS and Android builds off the phone, so that we can continue testing with CI/CD. They integrate with Jenkins, and Jenkins is the main CI/CD."
"It offers the single best solution for integrating deep automated browser testing in a CI/CD pipeline."
"I like the dashboard and seeing the test results. As a manager, I like to see the insights of the people using it, understanding the total path and run. I can see all of that as a manager. I also know team members love seeing the dashboard and seeing the test results in real-time."
"They update for the latest browsers and mobile phones and support a lot of combinations. They have 1,000-plus desktop combinations and browser versions, which is really great. We need that at Applause. The all-in-one testing suite aspect of it is really important because most of our clients prefer to go to one place."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"Integration with Github, as well as several other similar tools, could be improved."
"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests. It takes some time to load the application or web browser. Sometimes, it is frustrating too. Since they are real devices, we understand it takes some time to load. However, if it were to improve, then that would be a great asset to the solution. So, we would like better responsive times when opening applications and running tests."
"The only drawback is the speed, it will be good if we have a server in Asia too. It will be great if we can improve speed while initialization and execution."
"Running tests in the SauceCloud can take longer than running in a local environment."
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."
"Another aspect that could be improved is having the virtual devices boot up a little quicker. Sometimes we wait up to a minute before a device is available. It would be nice if that was 30 seconds or so."
