Manager of Central Excellence at Alpura
Easy to set up with good documentation and easy management of testing cycles
The solution allows for a complete test cycle. The management of testing cycles are easy. We have good control over test cases. We can capture functional testing very easily. We're actually able to accelerate testing now and have end-to-end cycles for testing. We didn't used to have these capabilities. It's easy to automate and accelerate testing. The product offers very good cross-browser testing capabilities. We can do continuous testing and regression testing.

Cloud-based testing has simplified remote mobile validation and provides flexible device coverage
I was not impressed with how detailed their analytics and logs are from LambdaTest. The solution we were testing is being used because many of us are working from home. It was easy to implement because with a real phone, we have to bring a real phone to each person. Since three years ago, many employees have been working from home, so we were trying to find a solution for this challenge. We had no need to exploit the information for the analytics generated in the background. The purpose was simply to make it easy for our employees to access a phone. The downsides I noticed include that the pricing was very good, but the visual quality of the image sometimes suffers. The contrast on a real iPhone provides better contrast than with the cloud solution. The only aspect that was less favorable than on a real phone was the contrast of the color.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SilkTest is best for desktop applications and good for web applications also with the Open agent."
"The ability to develop scripts in Visual Studio, Visual Studio integration, is the most valuable feature."
"The feature I like most is the ease of reporting, as you get a single frame of reporting across all the various tests and the program is very user-friendly."
"The OCR recognition is great, way over Sikulix or Robot Framework."
"The major thing it has helped with is to reduce the workload on testing activities."
"The Silk4J feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good. You can easily expand the product if you need to."
"Using this DLL functionality we were able to automate our product."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"With LambdaTest, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customer does."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Using LambdaTest, we could run all our functionality tests across various browsers, OS, and resolutions."
"LambdaTest proved to be a savior for us here, as one platform does the job!"
"LambdaTest Selenium Grid has helped us radically reduce the manual testing effort and ensure browser compatibility."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
 

Cons

"The solution has a lack of compatibility with newer technologies."
"GUI interface could be simpler for non-developers."
"At the moment, when we are trying to use this tool, we are finding quite a few compatibility issues between the tool and the applications on the test. We wouldn't consider it perfectly stable for that reason."
"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help. We needed to have a bigger pool of third-party contractors that we could draw on for specific implementations. Silk didn't have that, and we found what we needed for Ranorex here in the Houston area. It would be good if there is more community support. I don't know if Silk runs a user conference once a year and how they set up partners. We need to be able to talk to somebody more than just on the phone. It really comes right down to that. The generated automated script was highly dependent upon screen position and other keys that were not as robust as we wanted. We found the automated script generated by Ranorex and the other key information about a specific data point to be more robust. It handled the transition better when we moved from computer to computer and from one size of the application to the other size. When we restarted Silk, we typically had to recalibrate screen elements within the script. Ranorex also has some of these same issues, but when we restart, it typically is faster, which is important."
"We moved to Ranorex because the solution did not easily scale, and we could not find good and short term third-party help."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex if you're deploying on-prem."
"The pricing is an issue, the program is very expensive. That is something that can improve."
"SilkTest has to improve on Firefox and Chrome as their versions change."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"LambdaTest's technical support comes in different tiers - most issues get resolved, but there's room for improvement with critical issues."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid annually. There is a purchase cost, and then there is an ongoing maintenance fee."
"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and while I think that the price is quite reasonable I am not allowed to share those details."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
