Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable.""This solution helps lower the overhead cost associated with buying multiple devices.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""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.""At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development.""I must acknowledge that the customer support has been A++ when I have run into problems.""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."

"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros.""The product enables codeless automation.""It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package.""I face no challenges or stability issues.""To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex.""The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."

Cons
"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""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.""A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites.""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."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides.""Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response.""Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us.""The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market.""First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better.""Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area.""The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve.""The integration with mobile testing could be useful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

  • "​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
  • "Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."
  • "The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
  • "We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."
  • "Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."
  • "We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."
  • "My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."
  • "I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
