Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
We use sauce labs across our organization. It is good for testing software for devices that we do not have physical access to.
- Testing software on devices that you do not have physical access to
- Testing software on older browsers
- It can be a little quicker to load
- Would like the feature of downloading software
I think BrowserStack is a decent competitor with similar features to Sauce Labs. I have also used VMware, however, VMware takes up a lot of storage on your computer. Sauce Labs has pretty good documentation and webinars which I think are useful for the consumer to understand how to use it.
Evaluating Sauce Labs and Competitors
Yes - We used to use vmware. vmware was pretty slow and required extra memory to run
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
It is a good product that is fairly cheap.
I do not think I would do that much different. We are content with our decision to use sauce labs.
