More BrowserStack Pros →

"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class.""We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does.""We find the solution stable and scalable."

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.""We are struggling to do local testing.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms."
