Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

I build a website every summer for summer night concerts in the amazing gardens of the Real Alcázar in Sevilla, for a company called Actidea. We use a homemade CMS called PathFinder, which Julio Antileo and I built, and a CodeIgniter frontend on a Linux server.

Together with Diana Pinasco as the fabulous designer she is, we work on a new version each year and need to test the results in browsers of all kinds and sizes. This year's website needed extra testing as both design and user experience changed quite a bit, we added the possibility to choose dark or light mode at will, changed the way the menu works, and had new colors, structures, and layouts. I used BrowserStack to test the site in all flavors of mobile devices browsers, and desktops, and it was awesome as always. The site is quite bulletproof and battle-tested since 2001, though the first versions were done in, believe it, Flash Actionscript.

I remember the first time using BrowserStack as a decisive and defining moment when the responsive design really took off, and much more work than now. This time I had a lot to check for new things, but it all seemed to all work right mostly. I do have to sincerely recommend BrowserStack's live testing, I doubt there's something better around.
  • Realtime live testing at super speed as if you were there
  • Perfect customer service
  • Superb device variety of choice
  • Feature abundance
  • Lots of automated testing that I didn't need but I'm hoping to use one day
  • Perfect price
  • It may help to show the IP address of the device, as I had to configure access and needed to check the ip on each device for a while. Though it's possibly a fringe case, I guess, there are better, simpler ways than adding IPs to provide access as I had to.
  • Live testing
  • Variety of desktops, operative systems, and browsers
  • Real-time feeling of the remote accessed devices
  • Neat UI, design and UX of the whole BrowserStack environment
  • Fair pricing
  • Amiability
  • The concert's website, the Noches en los Jardines del Real Alcázar, sales every year have reached 96/98% for over two decades, and BrowserStack has played an important part in making that content available through an ocean of browsers and devices to the public consistently and timely.
I had no trouble using BrowserStack.
Over time, as more people use mobile devices, and with a broader choice of operative systems and browsers, without BrowserStack, it would have been impossible to offer a consistent and efficient service to the public. As the concert is in a public space, our goal was, of course, to always reach the maximum number of people with minimal trouble, lowering any technical divide. BrowserStack made it very easy from the beginning to widen our reach and avoid any pitfalls.

I use BrowserStack for live testing of a couple of website projects where I have to check design and user experience, and BrowserStack excels in giving the widest choice of browsers and devices that do feel as if they were on your hands in real-time on a flawless and diligent ride, for a fair price.
