Overall Satisfaction with Sauce Labs

We use Sauce Labs for our eCommerce platform, as well as new and emerging mobile apps and products. Using Sauce Labs lets us maintain enterprise-grade test architecture without needing an additional full-time role for features and maintenance. Thanks to Appium integration, we can run the same tests across a dozen mobile devices without much fuss. Documentation and support are top-notch. Real Cloud and Cross-Browser enable us to test real devices and run Safari (through the browser) on Windows machines. Automated tests come with video recordings synchronized to each test step, so we can quickly zero in on issues. Choose Sauce Labs if you're serious about automated testing.

I would recommend Sauce Labs for web automation testing, period. Hands-down the easiest decision to make. Their Selenium support is great and they always keep browser support up-to-date. Documentation is great and always improving. The Sauce Configurator is essential for setting up specific browser or mobile device combinations. Sauce Labs also now supports Cypress, Puppeteer, and other test frameworks too. With API Fortress, AutonomIQ, Screener, BackTrace, and Appium/Real Device, they provide an integrated solution for testing everything, everywhere.
