Appium vs. Mosyle

1. It's open source which supports range of languages, operating systems and languages. Well suited for Android and IOS mobile automation. Supports all kinds of apps, which makes it flexible and robust mobile testing tool 2. It is less appropriate where we need intercept network call to verify the API calls. Extensive coding experience is required to work Appium

If you manage an Apple fleet, Mosyle is great value and and easy to use tool. I've used several MDM providers and by far Mosyle is a great partner to work with. Payload's are easy to create and they have a great graphic showing what the status of your payload deployment is

• It uses WebDriver API so it makes it easy to use for former web test automation engineers.
• It can be managed via the command line via an extensive set of parameters.
• It handles implicit waits at the server side that is especially valuable in distributed infrastructure.

• Integrated solutions - SSO, Endpoint Security, Device management all tied together in one pane of glass.
• SSO is a first class citizen in Mosyle.
• Ease of setup and use. Anyone can get this up and running.
• Support is responsive and easy to find within the same portal.

• Element browser sometimes is unreliable and has sporadic fails.
• Appium running is a bit slow, compared to tests written with Appium and with Espresso or XCTest.

• Price points. When they first started, they were definitely less expensive than other options. Now they are about in-line once you get to Fuse and compare to other options.

I am rating 10/10 because Appium can use with multiple programming languages with multiple Test engines. Also, it works for both Android and iOS.

I would like to give 9/10 rating to Appium because of it can easily integrate with popular frameworks and CI/CD tools, as well as it is reliable, flexible and easy to use. The setup can bit complex in initial step, but once on configured it's very easy to use and enables stable and scalable mobile automation for real and cloud devices.

It's completely hosted in the cloud, the dashboard is easy to navigate and powerful to use. I don't have much time to poke around in different tools, but I'm rarely frustrated logging into Mosyle and getting the job done. I usually have positive vibes when using Mosyle for management. No massive UI overhauls, but still changes to include new features.

If you're an Apple developer, you use Xcode. It's practically a forced necessity. For system testing though, it doesn't have to be. You can have your development team focus on unit and integration tests in their platform and another team automate acceptance tests with a language they are more familiar with.

Mosyle's cost is something that has these other vendors beat. On top of that, the feature set and ease of use is by far the biggest reason why someone with an Apple fleet should use Mosyle

• Appium is open source, so it's free. That's budget friendly right there.
• The ability to write mobile automation tests has saved considerable time for our manual test team, but that is true with most automation tests.
• We use Sauce Labs with our other automation, but Appium works great with Sauce Labs, as well, if I needed to run on emulators and simulators.

• When we were using Mosyle it was a joy to work with and use. I'd switch back if I didn't already have a full MDM environment up and running.
• Mosyle development and support are responsive. When I first set this up, I made a feature request that I had ready for use within a 3-hour turn around.
