Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We write and design websites for tech companies. While there are many free tools to test website responsiveness, nothing comes close to BrowserStack for this purpose. It allows us to test our websites in virtual environments as well as real devices in no time. Clients get pixel-perfect websites, no matter the device/browser config of their visitors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides virtual and real device farms for web testing
Allows to choose between difference devices and browser versions
Lets us run automated website checks without writing code

Cons

Session timeout feels a but aggressive at times
Can be slow to roll out the latest OS and browser versions

Most Important Features

Real device and browser farms
Automating website testing flows
Sharing with others for transparency

Return on Investment

Saves us countless hours by streamlining website testing
Automates basic web testing without requiring dev work

Challenges Overcome

There was no way to ensure a website works across most of the devices out there. Different builds, OSes, browsers and resolutions make it next to impossible. BrowserStack changes that and allows us to test across a range of configurations semi-automatically. Clients now don't come up with issues months later because of some unusual quirk.

Product Usage

Live
Automate

BrowserStack live lets us do cross-browser testing across devices and browsers. Their website scanner feature automates the process for us.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's the best tool out there for testing websites before setting them live. There's no way to design websites that work as they should across all device / browser combinations. BrowserStack lets us do just that in a quick and easy way. And the ability to automate that is simply invaluable for our small business.
