Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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 most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."
"It is easy to set up."
"Good text reading ability."
"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
 

Cons

"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"It has low productivity."
"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."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
