Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Testing various, but actually mainly one web application, checking for inconsistent rendering, interactive issues/bugs, and responsive UI design problems such as layout, colors, contrast, fonts, position, sizing/spacing, and graphics, etc. The products we produce are health orientated so accessibility, useability, presentation, reliability, and performance all contribute success in terms of sales, maintainability and customer retention.

It does crash and can take a while to load a screen. It could do with a way to move and resize the testing area especially when on a laptop.
Developers use it in the process of development, then testers use it for a more thorough check after each issue has been moved from code review. There's nothing complex about it.
Litmus for email testing but it's not really a competitor of BrowserStack. No other products compare from what I've seen.

Suited to anyone creating web applications or websites. It's important to view content on a variety of screen sizes, scrolling, content proportions, display of data in tables, buttons/links are clickable, when to show/hide content. Not appropriate to check on every single device/browser, especially the older ones. It's up to Developers/Designers to discern what issues are worth solving and investing time in.
