Amazing, easy to set up product for testing browser and OS compatibility

I've only ever compared this to other emulators like Virtual Box and the like which require some tech knowledge and time for set up. BrowserStack is ready out of the box and even a non-IT person can start using it almost instantly.

BrowserStack saves lives (or at least time)

I looked into other software, but I did not find any of them to be as intuitive as BrowserStack. It was easy to use and had all of the devices we required for testing. The pricing structure also suited the needs of our team. Other team members had familiarity with BrowserStack so it was the logical choice for our team and company.

When we decided to purchase a subscription to BrowserStack, we compared the costs, functionality, and reviews of other mobile testing platforms such as Saucelabs and Cross Browser Testing. BrowserStack was a better fit for our company especially when it came to functionality and cost.

Essential Tool for Testing

Compared to other products I've found BrowserStack to have an easy-to-use interface, it offers all the platforms I need and it runs quickly and reliably. The browser plugin is an especially useful feature so I can almost instantly open a URL in one of my BrowserStack presets. It proved useful for basic use at the free price level and for large team use at the higher price level.

Browserstack - Premium Cross Browser Compatibility Testing

Browserstack primarily used emulators, over time they've received enough complaints to offer many tests on REAL desktop and mobile browsers. However for mobile testing, there are still emulators in use in different cases. Other specific mobile testing options like Mobilizer, etc., could be used in these cases.

There are various other options such as Sauce Labs, Limus (primarily for email testing), and Browsershot. However, all in all, Browserstack offers the most flexibility and global coverage for cross browser testing.

I have used both Sauce Labs and BrowserStack. In my personal opinion, BrowserStack is a more polished product. I encountered less bugs and delays than Sauce Labs. I also think that BrowserStack has a cleaner and easier-to-use interface, which is important for testing. Overall, I ended up choosing BrowserStack for the long term.

The main, direct competition to Browserstack is CrossBrowserTesting platform. It is very similar really. Has the same features plus a few more i.e. you can connect it to Slack and JIRA which we are using on daily basis. You can also take multiple screenshots of various devices at the same time just by selecting them from the list. And finally, it has a video capture mode. I haven't used it yet so can not say how good it is.

Browserstack on the Benefits

The only similar thing we've done is use our cabinets full of iphones, ipads, android tablets and phones.
We also run Firefox through a VM machine, which is not ideal for the person using it. We do this because our company does not support the use of Firefox, so it can not be installed on company-issues computers.

Test your website on (almost) every device with BrowserStack

Before using BrowserStack, we had limited access to virtual machines for testing. Booting up each of these devices was time consuming and difficult to manage when multiple users needed to test. BrowserStack opened up our testing to more devices, being accessible by anyone who wanted to test from their own PC.

Sauce Labs offers similar tools and pricing, but we got hooked with the free Internet Explorer testing on BrowserStack and stuck with it.
