Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros My favorite things about BrowserStack are, primarily, the way it works, it doesn't require for a long learning curve in order to be able to use it and to implement all the amazing tools that it has, it is very easy to use and to maintain in order to keep using, it is the most user-friendly solution that adjusts to the users and I like it. Another thing that I really like about Browserstack is the way that it allows us to run multiple tests without limitations and it is able to run tests on older versions of browsers, it has an incredible archive of these versions and we are able to provide a nice experience for all users no matter the device they are visiting the page in, if old or new. It is able to provide different kinds of testing to ensure that the code is working properly, and it has so many tools that adjust the code to different environments, I like how it is possible to test on real actual browsers to get the full experience and to know if it actually works or not. With Browserstack, we are not only able to run all these tests on actual running browsers with all the settings, but we are also able to detect errors on the bug and proceed to do the debugging inside the software, with all the helpful tools that it has to complete this step, we are able to do the debugging for both mobile and desktop devices which is something that I really appreciate as we are able to do this in only one platform and don't require to switch softwares. BrowserStack is one of my favorite product that provide to test the software of multiple devices and browsers. It is being use for software development and testing purpose. - We can test the product on multiple devices and browsers (Mac, Window, iOS, Android etc..) - Highly reliable cloud infrastructure that effortlessly scales as testing needs grow. - It is very useful for developer and tester. - Easy to use and user-friendly! - It help to improve the product quality. - We can use it for documentation purpose as well. - Cheapest tool according to features. Cons BrowserStack is a great solution that adds much more ease to the process of testing and debugging, with all the tools that it has it feels very comfortable to work with. However, I would like the prices to be more accessible to the general public, BrowserStack currently offers different pricing options but they are still very high and not affordable at all, especially for small businesses like us that are making a great use of the software and seeing results. A more affordable plan with less tools that are not often used would be a great option to implement this. Other than that, I do not have any dislikes towards this software and I think it works perfectly. Sometimes browser speed create problem for me. Rest of the things looks excellent.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Very simple experiment test results that usually delivered within 48hours - with a precise breakdown to replicate any issues found. Love the ease of use of the platform and how easy it is to launch tests. It's quick, effective, and keeps our launches smooth. The user interface is super easy to understand, and they are constantly rolling out updates and improvements to their platform to make things even better. They were so easy to work with, really liked having a project manager to help with managing testing. They were very flexible and open to our needs/feedback, even hosted a training session with testers to ensure they understood the nature of our business. - Easy setup in testing sessions - Very responsive testing managers - Reliable execution of all required test cases Cons Raising experiments not as simple as previously Found it to be a little confusing. There's not much I've experienced so far that I don't like. I think most companies that rely on freelancers have some issues with consistency/quality –having a project manager from GAT helped with this a lot but there were still a few instances were bugs were raised with different levels of quality feedback. - Long test execution time - Sometimes incoherent results, issues that have been marked as "intentional" get flagged again
