Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

We use BrowserStack for cross-browser testing and testing on mobile devices which we don't have easy access to. Being able to test on real devices (and not simulated) allows us to accurately find JS/CSS and layout bugs within our web applications. This saves us both time and money as we don't need to buy actual real devices to test our web apps on.

Pros

  • Fast and Easy one-click start to begin testing
  • Reliable testing environments with real devices
  • Useful throttle network features to simulate slower connections

Cons

  • A native BrowserStack app for iPad would be helpful for testing when not at my computer
  • Tighter integration with GitHub - e.g. Automated posting screenshots from BrowserStack to each Pull Request as a comment.
  • Cross-browser and mobile device live testing
  • Fast screenshot testing on multiple browsers
  • SpeedLab is great for testing performance on different browsers/devices
  • Cross-browser testing has saved money on buying real devices (no need to buy a Mac just to test sites in Safari!)
  • Being able to quickly get screenshots of a webpage in multiple browsers has improved developer productivity by saving time
The service is reliable and the reports/screenshots are provided in a timely manner.
We've used BrowserStack for screenshots and testing and it's enabled me to catch CSS bugs early in the development process - before changes go to QA! This has saved us time and improved productivity.

Do you think BrowserStack delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BrowserStack's feature set?

Yes

Did BrowserStack live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of BrowserStack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BrowserStack again?

Yes

It is the best choice for testing websites/web apps in real browsers and devices. Because you are remote controlling a device over the Internet it's not super fast, so it's not ideal for testing the performance of complex CSS animations for example.
