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.
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"From an infrastructure support perspective, the number of VMs, browsers installations and versions that we would be maintaining without Sauce Labs would be a lot. This includes not only the infrastructure costs, but also the maintenance costs and people's time. The labor cost associated with maintaining all of that would be considerably high. In terms of efficiency, having concurrent VMs with various browser combinations available has allowed us to run multiple executions by all our teams."
"Before implementing Sauce Labs, we tested physical devices that team members had to share. It was more feasible when we were all located in one office, but we couldn't leverage our offshore capacity. With this solution, we can do everything remotely, which is essential now that most of us work from home."
"The most valuable feature is cross-browser, cross-OS, cross-mobile device testing."
"It helped to integrate our performance testing and UAT, which helped to deliver a bug free software for our customers."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"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."
"With only a few clicks, it gives us the availability to use any browser and OS combination whenever we want."
"Easy to integrate with the other platform for tracking purposes."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"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."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"As a web product QA team, we sometimes need to spot check some new child site on multiple browsers and OS(es). It was a little time consuming for us since we need to click on each of the browser/OS combinations and start a new session to test. Every sprint, with new features and child pages being added, we mostly need to do the same steps over and over again."
"It should provide more examples of script code."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"The Jenkins Sauce OnDemand plugin could have more options available to tap into more of the custom capabilities Sauce Labs actually supports."
"I may not know what should be improved on the platform, but I think it could offer a greater variety of testing solutions. I know there might be competing solutions that cover more things I'm unaware of, and it could expand a bit more. We've done a lot of automated testing scenarios, and that's all the rage these days, so I think Sauce Labs could look at potential ways to improve and cover other scenarios."
"Sauce Labs can include new technologies like generative AI capabilities."
"Lacks the ability to start multiple tests simultaneously."
"The real concern is the load time of applications or real devices when we start our tests. It takes some time to load the application or web browser. Sometimes, it is frustrating too. Since they are real devices, we understand it takes some time to load. However, if it were to improve, then that would be a great asset to the solution. So, we would like better responsive times when opening applications and running tests."
