We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration.""It provides a comprehensive selection of browsers and platform versions for our test automations and CI/CD pipeline process. It also provides a comprehensive set of virtual mobile devices, which we can configure for our automation and availability. These features are valuable for us when it comes to testing our applications. We have a website and mobile applications that we want to test and diversify to various browsers and mobile devices as well as restore various versions. This helps us to find bugs that users might be facing and correct them.""The abundance of device, platform, and browser combinations/versions that can be used in parallel.""Sauce Connect gave us ability to test an application that was hosted locally.""The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps.""Our machines are mostly Windows. Being able to test with Safari, on a Mac, and other types of browser pieces without having to manage all the infrastructure is the biggest feature that our team enjoys.""Since this is an all-in-one testing site, we are able to take advantage of the browser OS combinations, mobile emulators and simulators, and real mobile devices. This is important to us since we have a variety of users, browsers, OS, etc.""Live device testing. As we all know, It's really hard and challenging to find/purchase many real devices to test because it will be costly and not all the team can be able to purchase all of the devices out there. We used to have a lot of real devices under our labs. However, it is really time-consuming to maintain those devices and make sure they are up to date with the testing requirements."

"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution.""The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need.""Their technical support is awesome."

Cons
"Speeds up the time it takes to run end-to-end user interface (UI) tests inside their virtual machines (VMs).""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.""We have faced challenges with the availability of mobile devices. There was once or twice where there were no mobile devices available.""The testing process is difficult. I need to prove the complete competency of the tool, and I am finding that challenging.""On a rare occasion, I will come into a ticket where a customer will have reached out to me after reaching out to Sauce Labs, saying, "Sauce Labs doesn't understand what I am going through. They are not being very helpful." So, I try to do clean up there. Outside of those extremely rare occasions, I have only had one or two of those support issues.""Every time that we run scenarios where we need to discover the geolocation of our customers, by default it shows as Palo Alto, California. That's a problem for us and we need a workaround for those cases... It would be helpful if we could enter a latitude and longitude into Sauce Labs configuration and say, "When you run a virtual Chrome device or an iPhone, make this your default location. Then, provide me that device so I can run my scenarios," because we have stores in different regions across the United States.""I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps.""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."

"The performance of the tool needs to improve.""We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool.""The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."

  • "Try the free trial and work with a Sauce Labs representative to see what package works best for your application(s)."
  • "It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
  • "Go ahead please. Try it at a smaller scale."
  • "Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
  • "When you reach the Enterprise licensing tier, base level being with 10 concurrent test sessions, pricing is essentially per-unit-of-concurrency thereafter with a relatively linear increase and not much benefit for "bulk"."
  • "Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
  • "​Now that we have an enterprise license, we no longer have to worry about minutes each month!​"

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sauce Labs is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. It has valuable features that include error logging, helpful dashboards, and its browser.

    Joel A., Product Manager - Data & APIs at a marketing services firm, says, "The error logging is very robust. If we run a test through Sauce Labs and there's some sort of issue, a log will appear on the screen. Log messages are usually heinous and horrible... Sauce Labs is incredibly good at saying things like, 'Hey, here is the exact issue. Fix this and you can run the test.' That helps in getting things up and running and executing the way they should."

    Savio D., Sr. IT Architect at a healthcare company, mentions, "Sauce Labs' dashboards contain multiple useful metrics in one place. Everything is represented to us visually on the dashboard, which helps us understand where to focus our attention, what the issues are, and what we need to resolve."

    PeerSpot reviewer, Rob L., Director of Quality Assurance - Shared Service at a financial services firm, writes, “The most valuable feature for us is the browser. The most critical thing is that this software aligns with our Agile and DevOps way of doing things. It integrates with kickoff scripts through DevOps.”

    Tricentis Flood is a cloud-based platform for load testing that assists teams in determining how their applications respond to loads that are distributed across the world. This solution makes load testing more accessible to developers and testers by lowering the complexity typically connected with it. By adding load testing into their CI/CD pipelines, teams can start testing the performance of their application components as they develop and continuously track the effects on the system's overall performance.

    Tricentis Flood enables DevOps load testing. In addition, it enables DevTest teams to get quick and continuous performance feedback. Because Tricentis Flood and Tosca are integrated, you can use the same scriptless tests you use for functional testing to perform load testing. In addition to supporting conventional protocol-level load-testing techniques, Tricentis Flood also enables testers to do load tests at the browser level without becoming bogged down in technical specifics.

    As new features are being developed, teams can begin load testing them. Without having to deal with the headaches of requesting, setting, or managing performance resources on premises or in the cloud, a developer or tester can rapidly produce millions of globally dispersed requests per second from their local PC.

    Tricentis Flood distributes test plans over widely accessible cloud servers using open-source tools like JMeter, Gatling, and Selenium. Additionally, it enables you to instantly "flood" any HTTP endpoint.

    Tricentis Flood Features

    Tricentis Flood has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • The Browser Level User method reduces script generation, maintenance, and complexity overheads.
    • Tosca Flood integration, enabling seamless load testing for both UI and API-based test scenarios.
    • Enhanced economy of scale with cloud-based load generation across multiple global geographic locations.
    • Tool-agnostic, with the ability to integrate with new tools as they become available.
    • Cluster-less, shared-nothing architecture, which allows users to scale up for very large tests without the bottlenecks that more traditional setups experience.
    • Real-time reports on a shareable, intuitive, and interactive dashboard.
    • Long-term data storage allows you to evaluate performance over time.
    • Test-friendly pricing, where you pay for the infrastructure you utilize, not per test or per simulated user.

    Tricentis Flood Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing Tricentis Flood. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Simple methods for defining, creating, and maintaining load tests.
    • On-demand platform for executing load tests at scale.
    • Analysis and visualization of results in real time.
    • Continuous monitoring of performance across time.
