Featured Reviews

Michael Hutchison - PeerSpot reviewer
Static screenshots are the feature most often used, because they are a simple method of detecting problems
The screenshot tool defaults to a screen layout instead of a full page test. I find it a bit cumbersome that I can't have it run a full screenshot as my default. Every time, I have to select the full screen, then restart its captures, which seems a waste of time and energy. This is, admittedly, a minor complaint.
Andrew Rorat - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 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."
"When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a browser. CBT works with our testing environment and development site."
"Video recording of the script running in a cloud server."
"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."
"Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users."
"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 have found CrossBrowserTesting to be scalable."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
 

Cons

"The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes the testing is slow."
"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."
"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."
"I have experienced some lagging issues, and it does not seem like all of the testing environments are configured the same."
"We had some issues with the onboarding process and the cloud conductivity could improve."
"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
"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."
"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
