We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It was the perfect solution that saved us time and money to perform web viewing tests on real devices, which allowed our team to correct multiple failures in devices.""The extensive range of products available to simulate is something I have come to appreciate as it has resulted in an ability to broaden the scope of our tests.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier.""The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues.""Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices."

"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel.""The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily.""The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us.""Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries.""The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems.""Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues.""It is a scalable solution.""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."

Cons
"A problem that we are facing quite often is related to the network connection. Tests can fail if the remote CrossBrowserTesting's VM has connection problems. This happens mostly with browsers of Internet Explorer family which work on Windows OS.""It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us.""I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes.""If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic.""Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.""I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them.""I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow.""The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive.""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."
