Verified User Team Lead Chose Appium Appium is one of the most valuable fully featured open-source tools with good support for iOS and Android mobile automation which cannot be matched even by enterprise tools. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose Appium The main reason we selected Appium is that we had people experienced in WebDriver API and some framework solutions in place, so given our setup, it provided a faster and cheaper kick-off.

Javier Cardoso Quality Assurance & Testing Senior Engineer Chose Appium Appium is comparable with Calabash because it's the only cross-platform tool like appium.

Randall Kelley Senior Software Development Test Engineer Chose Appium Hard to compare Appium to Xcode and Android sdk because Appium uses them, but those are the only comparisons I could come up with to compare Appium with another product.

Likelihood to Recommend	JS Foundation 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	JS Foundation 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	JS Foundation 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. Incentivized Javier Cardoso Quality Assurance & Testing Senior Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	JS Foundation 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.

Return on Investment	JS Foundation 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.
