Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack
I am an independent freelance developer. I use BrowserStack almost daily to test my clients websites and apps across devices, browsers and on different operating systems. My clients expect their websites or apps to work perfectly for their users. I make this possible for them with the help of BrowserStack. With BrowserStack I find issues early- like CSS breaking on Safari or a button not working on an older android device etc.
Pros
- Many times a website looks fine on Google Chrome but breaks on Safari or Opera browser. BrowserStack makes it easy to open those exact browsers and fix CSS, spacing issues or font issues quickly.
- I use BrowserStack to make sure menus, pages, popups and forms behave properly on small screen devices like Mobile Phone or tablets.
- I can run test suites across many browsers and devices at the same time. It saves my time.
Cons
- During busy hours, real devices feel a bit laggy to connect or respond. It works but it can break the flow when I am in the middle of debugging.
- For a new user, User Interface(UI) can feel overwhelming at first because there are lot of options and products in the dashboard.
- It has wide coverage of browsers and OS versions.
- It provides automated testing support.
- I like its screenshot and quick checks feature also.
- It helps me test across many devices in few minutes. I can finish my projects faster.
- I catch most of the cross-browser and device issues before my client ever sees them which saves a lot of rework.
- For a solo freelancer, the subscription is not cheap. It's a real expense I have to justify.
Before using BrowserStack, I was limited to my own laptop and phone. A lot of real-world issues went unnoticed until my clients reported them. Things would look fine on my Google Chrome browser but break on Safari or Firefox. I had to borrow devices from friends to test my projects. It was slow and unreliable process.

Before BrowserStack, I use local emulators. They were helpful for quick checks but not reliable for real world testing.
