Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
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

"It is easy to set up."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"Good text reading ability."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
 

Cons

"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"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."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
