Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use BrowserStack for live, cross-browser testing. We are rebuilding over 15 websites and need to verify the site looks and works consistent in 22+ different browsers. We plan on taking advantage of the automated testing next, to be sure that, for example, forms work consistently and that their workflows are indeed firing properly.

Likelihood to Recommend

BrowserStack is a immense stack. There's a tool for anyone, anything. From a solo developer to enterprise teams - its works for all scenarios. BUT that's also a weakness. There's too many tools in the stack. It would be better to combine similar or overlapping features. For example the live browser test and snapshots should be merged into one. Also, would love a periodic snapshot test that tells me if there's a threshold of divergence between screenshots, effectively automating cross-browser testing.
