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.
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"APPIUM for mobile testing has improved our organization by allowing us to test our website on more devices and browsers than we currently possess."
"So far, the stability has proven to be quite good."
"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."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"Sauce Labs provides us with more combinations to test, so we can keep adding platforms and devices to our network. That's been a very seamless experience. Let's say there's an iOS or a private device we need. Sauce Labs has helped get all those set up when needed."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"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."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"The ability to install profiles on iOS real mobile devices should be included."
"One of the challenging areas for us is the reporting and the matrix. It should be based on roles, but right now it is only available for the admin role. The admin role can really do a lot of stuff, but our infrastructure team, which holds the admin role, is not ready to hand it over to us on the testing team. If Sauce Labs had permissions associated with roles, where this role could do this activity and that role could do that activity, it would be easier for us."
"The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"Sometimes pasting text while using "text object" does not seem to work, and it slows down testing times quite a bit."
"We have had some issues with the Sauce Connect Proxy on our Jenkins servers failing to start, which makes the optimal CI/CD pipeline come to a halt."
"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."
"The ability to configure the memory and CPU for the test machines should be included."
