Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
We use it to validate our UX is consistent across multiple browser and operating system combinations. Additionally, we use it to validate our sites load on mobile devices as intended. It has also allowed us to offload some of our lab costs around virtual testing platforms.
- Account Management
- Quick spin up time for testing
- Sauce Connect allows us to test on local IPs using remote resources
- The tests take 500% longer to complete using sauce labs than a local selenium web driver instance.
- The advertised record and play feature is extremely unreliable.
- There is no ability to clone actions across numerous browsers and VMs.
The cost of Sauce Labs was the deciding factor.

I would have asked for a more extensive trial period and tested integration into our automation suite prior to purchasing.
