We performed a comparison between BrowserStack, Galen Framework, and Sauce Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering."
"BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from."
"We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices."
"Maintenance of the solution is easy."
"It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it."
"The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult."
"The most valuable features are the variety of tools available."
"The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."
"What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"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."
"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."
"They offer a large number of devices and browser/operating system combinations for real device tests"
"It has significantly enhanced our testing accuracy by approximately 50%."
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration."
"Testing subscription videos for on-demand software, making them better quality and bug free for our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run concurrent automated tests up to a specified value, depending on what we are currently paying for."
"There is a huge amount of open source, community provided resources."
"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."
"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."
"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA."
"I would like to see clearer visibility."
"Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."
"Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product."
"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"The only drawback is the speed, it will be good if we have a server in Asia too. It will be great if we can improve speed while initialization and execution."
"Running tests in the SauceCloud can take longer than running in a local environment."
"An image comparison would be a nice feature to include in the Sauce Labs product."
"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."
"Latency, due to Sauce Labs being a cloud-based solution, has been a concern. We work in different continents and countries, but last time I checked, Sauce Labs was only offering two data centers, one in the EU and another in the US. If you're not in either of those two places, you would have latency and issues running your test cases."
"They should provide a JIRA integration plugin so that we can easily log issues."
"They could improve the platform's customer support services."
"There have been various times throughout the last month or so where the service has gone down during business hours."
