Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

I can only speak for my team but we mainly use it for visual regression testing
  • visual regression testing
  • automation
  • testing
  • Percy UI hasn't changed in years, too basic
  • Some bugs reported to Percy/Browserstack
  • visual regression testing
  • visual regression testing has prevented some visual regressions
Lack of better testing.
  • Percy
I'll be honest with you, these questions just feel all the same. Percy has helped us with visual regression.
I'm putting Applitools because I can only speak of competitors of products that BrowserStack offers.
Applitools is fine. I feel they have comparable features. I do like Percy's/BrowserStack's 5000 trial limit. I'm more likely to recommend Percy over Applitools because at any time I can try Percy both at my company and personally. Applitools I think my trial is long over.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BrowserStack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BrowserStack again?

Yes

For visual regression testing it's great.

The Percy UI hasn't changed in years mostly. There's a lot of features I feel that could be implemented. Like identifying when a visual regression occurred, or flakiness of a snapshot first occurred. It feels like Percy doesn't get the love it needs, both in terms of UI, backend and CLI.
