We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration.""I can run a page through the screenshot tool, then send a URL with the results to my team.""The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure.""It has increased the speed of our regression testing.""I am able to continuously test my new releases across browser versions without issues."

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.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing.""It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish.""The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support.""They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool.""The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run.""If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

  • "Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
