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 stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering.""It is a scalable solution.""The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""The setup was quite simple. The website easily explains how to set it up and if you want to integrate it with BMP tools there are online simple step tutorials.""Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development.""The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices.""BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from."

More BrowserStack Pros →

"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP).""Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator.""For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process.""It's simple to set up.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge.""We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution.""The stop automation is a great feature."

Cons
"I would like to see clearer visibility.""BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster.""BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""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.""Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones.""I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product.""The solution is slow."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent.""The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute.""It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS.""Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation).""I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications.""The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script.""Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification.""The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This solution costs less than competing products."
  • "The price is fine."
  • "There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
  • "BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
  • "The price of BrowserStack is high."
  • "Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
  • "My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."
  • "As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."
  • More BrowserStack Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
