Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Many device/OS testing options in Desktop, IOS and Android versions. The audio prompt when website is displaying in target device and ready to be tested is convenient.

Cons

  • The UI is not intuitive or convenient. For example, if one has navigated to a particular iOS version which has a list of available devices that you are testing—after testing one device (such as iPhone 12 Pro Max just as an example), and concluding that particular test—you have to go all the way back to re-set up what you want to test: Navigate back to 'Start a Browser Live Test', re-select 'iOS' from 'Desktop, iOS and Android' menu, re-select the target iOS version from the drop down. re-select location (EU or US) then scroll to select a device from the same list of devices you are working with, and even have to re-paste the url of the website you are testing. If only you could return to the device options for all that same criteria to just get to the device list without having to navigate through all the choices again! Very annoying. As well, there is a lot of drop-downs and scrolling to navigate through the selection criteria as the window is not very large. CrossBrowerTesting was so much easier and quicker to use. Second complaint: it seems like 1/3 of the time, the desired device to check does not make a connection to the video feed, is locked, device not connected to the internet, or other number of strange screens/notices display instead of the just showing the website you want to test.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • HeadSpin provides us with a complete set of tools for test automation, so that we can automate our app testing and increase the quality assurance of our app in no time. HeadSpin allows us to run tests on the real devices.
  • One of the biggest challenges with creating new software products is bridging the gap between teams, products, and users. HeadSpin provided our engineers with a state-of-the-art device infrastructure that allowed us to focus on developing our product in a remote location without having to worry about maintaining hardware. The results speak for themselves: we were able to test our SDKs in key global locations, gain critical visibility into network communications across the wire, and rapidly iterate based on data gathered from testing.
  • Headspin has been an essential part of our testing process from the beginning. We've used it to test everything from mobile sites to native applications and we've found it to be invaluable for both developers and testers. We can run tests on any device from any location in the world, and the bug reporting feature makes it easy to track down and fix errors.
  • Using Headspin has been a great way to reduce the amount of time it takes to test across various browsers and platforms. I can run tests on 5-10 browsers simultaneously, which saves me a lot of time because I don't have to toggle windows between each browser.
  • Our HeadSpin system can identify issues across multiple databases in a matter of minutes. It's a user friendly interface that allows us to identify issues in our database quickly, and the automation also makes it easy to test our fixes across multiple scenarios.

Cons

  • I have been using HeadSpin for years now and they are doing a great job. The customer service is excellent, I think it's very good to work with them. I don't think there's any room for improvement in their service.
  • We are rather fairly satisfied with the platform. The design is nice and intuitive, it's easy to use and the price point is great.
  • We have used other tools in the past, but this is far and away the best we've used.
  • I think HeadSpin is a very solid product. I haven't encountered any problems with it in my testing and everything worked smoothly.
  • I had a few difficulties getting started with the platform, but after a few hours of trial and error, I was able to figure things out.
