Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable.""BrowserStack's best feature is browser testing across different platforms, including mobile.""BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from.""The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing.""Maintenance of the solution is easy.""I have found that BrowserStack is stable.""It is a stable solution.

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective.""This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite.""Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations.""The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding.""Object identification is good."

Cons
"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico.""BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster.""There is room for improvement in pricing.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines.""Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience.""We are struggling to do local testing.""It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience."

More BrowserStack Cons →

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""The solution's technical support team could be responsive.""Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better).""I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code.""Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful.""There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."
