    dotcom-monitor LoadView is great for testing our ability to handle large amounts of visitors and their interactions with our site. It's also great at testing more complex interactions. For us, it's been invaluable for preparing for big events like class registration and wide-scale virtual events. It doesn't work as a CI tool but they do offer other products to serve that purpose.

    CrossBrowserTesting is a great tool to use when you have a new page or new content that you want to test on an array of devices/browsers. In the diverse online world nowadays, it is nearly impossible to ensure optimization for every case. CBT allows you to get closer to that goal.

    • Test case support is somewhat limited in customization ability.
    • Not a unique problem to them (or their 'fault'), but content behind VPN or intranet cannot be scanned.
    • Pricing with tier level and features can sometimes be confusing (ie. what is and what is not included).

    dotcom-monitor LoadView is the only product like it that I have used. It's been extremely reliable and the organizations I have worked with who use it have been existing customers. I am sure other products like it exist, but I have never encountered any issues that would persuade me to start evaluating competitors

    • By using CrossBrowserTesting we are saving many hours a week in manual work hours.
    • Our automated Selenium tests run in a fraction of the time it takes to manually test our components, so we can spend more time building great user experiences and less time triaging bugs.
