Considered Both Products
BrowserStack
Chose BrowserStack
I found Browserstack's website very informative and their documentation much more detailed than the other products I tried to explore. Also one more aspect where Browserstack stood out for me for other similar vendors is that they provide a 100 minute free trial for any newly …
Chose BrowserStack
I have used perfecto but BrowserStack experience is better compared to that as it is much easier to log in and preform quick tests
Chose BrowserStack
Simple UX and UI made it easier to use with a Chrome addon. Vastly better performance compared to the other offerings was the critical success factor that won the deal plus the pre-sales team zoom calls.
Chose BrowserStack
All are pretty good platforms and its tough to compare them. BrowserStack I felt was much more responsive from Support perspective and also better on performance of the platform.
Chose BrowserStack
When using Perfecto by Perfecto, we were experiencing issues with the product and the support, which we have not experienced since our subscription to BrowserStack
Chose BrowserStack
We never really took a serious look at other platforms. BrowserStack had been recommended to us and after a brief evaluation, we were hook and never really considered an alternative. The other platforms seem to provide similar features and benefits, but we've been pleased with …

Suppose, we have to test a website named XYZ on different types of devices how it will look, like the example, we have to check how a website will look on iOS v18 and v17 with other iPhone models like iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max now, we don't have these physical devices at the point BrowserStack comes to the picture and solve our problems with lots of devices on the dashboard which are physical but virtually available to it's users.

Same test case scripts can be executed on different mobiles irrespective of operating systems and language it supports. This covers a wide range of devices (Android, iOS, Blackberry etc) on which automated testing can be performed in very less time. The test scripts are written written using keyword-based Script Once Technology. The creation of scripts are easy. It saves time and effort. Repetitive testing on each iteration would be now be less tedious. This would also allow QA to focus on quality. It would expand test case coverage in the application and finally release reliable/robust application. In all, improving the app quality.

Cons
BrowserStack
  • I would appreciate if they increase their maximum session time limit. Their current session limit is around 2 hours and for some lengthy end to end use cases we have, that becomes a hurdle.
  • Right now, the session recordings are unavailable after 30 days. I would appreciate if that availability is extended beyond that time frame.
  • Would love to have information about their Dedicated Device Cloud service available on the Browserstack website similar to other plans.
  • Would love to have an option for purchasing a plan that is more than 5 parallels, directly from the website instead of contacting sales team for that.

Perforce Software
  • It has a lot of room for improvements in terms of reporting and integration with other reporting and defect tools.
  • It should have the capability of capturing charts data.
  • It should be able to do some scenarios that only manual testers can do. Like - use of camera and touch ID features.

Usability
BrowserStack
It integrates directly in internal networks and local development. The point and click interface of choosing your device, pick the browser/version and you have a working emulation of that exact environment. What else could you ask for? I've set our least computer savvy users up with BrowserStack for testing in minutes. It feels like it's just part of your local environemnt.

Performance
BrowserStack
The tests are fast considering the fact that they're Appium tests. I've seen tests reliably pass or fail when they're supposed to, with next to zero issues on the BrowserStack side of things. Tests launch only seconds after I kick off them off from my CLI.

Support Rating
BrowserStack
I'm saying a 10 for support for BrowserStack only based on feedback from the development team. I myself have never had to reach out to support for any questions or issues, but others in the company have. From my conversations with them, the support was fantastic and had been a pleasure working with the BrowserStack team.

Implementation Rating

I rated the implementation satisfaction an 8 because while it went smoothly overall, there were some challenges during the initial learning phase and integration with existing tools. Key insights include the importance of providing sufficient training upfront and ensuring seamless integration with other systems to minimize disruptions and improve adoption speed.
