Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs
I've been using Sauce Labs across multiple platforms for several years. We made the decision as an organization to use Sauce because of the wide variety of browser and device combinations, as well as the ease of use. Integrating Sauce with our CI pipeline allows us to rapidly test a variety of combinations, and return results to developers in minutes. This used to be a wholly manual effort that could take days or weeks depending on the scope of changes. Appium + Sauce Labs have made this much easier.
We occasionally run into the same issues that people will note for this and other solutions. But when faced with challenges the support and feedback is stellar. We're looking forward to doing more testing across devices as we expand our test coverage.

- A large variety of browser and device combinations allows for broader test coverage.
- Adopting new technologies like XCUITest and Espresso allow for the use of industry standard tools in test automation
- Massive parallelization helps to reduce test run times.
- SSH tunneling stability can cause test failures
- Having access to browsers and devices in beta would be ideal
- More native testing support would be a big win.
We built out a monstrosity that barely achieved our goals, and ran on our local network before Sauce. WE also frequently investigate other vendors to make sure we are getting the best product. We have yet to evaluate a tool that meets the same level of quality we receive from Sauce.
