Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Record and Replay is the most used functionality for us, as we can record the test cases and play them on multiple combinations of platforms.""When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site.""I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""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.""It has increased the speed of our regression testing.""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.""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."

"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more.""LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information.""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.""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 UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly.""This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!""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 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.""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.""The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""Sometimes the testing is slow.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"Their smart testing module needs improvement.""Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency.""I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me.""Mobile application testing would be helpful for us.""I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them.""The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive.""LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team.""It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
