BrowserStack Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about BrowserStack is how easy it makes cross-browser testing without needing to maintain any local infrastructure. As a TA working on projects at the University of Limerick, I often need to check how my web applications behave across different browsers and operating systems. With BrowserStack, I can quickly run my automated tests on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on different OS versions without setting up multiple machines or virtual environments.

Another thing I appreciate is the reliability of the real device and browser environments. The tests run on actual browsers rather than emulators, which gives me more confidence in the results. I’ve been using it to test some of my work projects and also verify functionality on a few UL-related websites to see how they behave across different browser configurations.

The integration with common automation frameworks is also very helpful. I’ve been able to run automated tests using tools I’m already familiar with, and the dashboard makes it easy to view logs, screenshots, and debugging information when a test fails. Overall, it saves a lot of time and makes cross-browser testing much more practical, especially when working on multiple projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For smaller teams working on different projects, the pricing of some advanced plans might feel a bit high if you need access to more parallel sessions or additional features. That said, for cross-browser testing on real environments without maintaining your own device lab, it still provides a lot of value overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BrowserStack makes cross-browser and cross-device testing extremely easy without needing to maintain physical devices or complex virtual machine setups. The platform provides access to a wide range of real browsers and operating systems, which helps ensure that applications behave consistently across environments. The interface is intuitive, the setup is straightforward, and integrations with automation tools like Selenium and CI/CD pipelines work smoothly. It significantly speeds up debugging and improves confidence before releasing to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While BrowserStack is very powerful, the platform can occasionally feel slower when running tests on remote devices compared to local environments. Session startup time and network latency can sometimes impact productivity when running many tests. Additionally, pricing can be relatively high for smaller teams, especially when scaling automation sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use BrowserStack for ecommerce app testing with multiple devices. It solves cross-device and cross-browser compatibility issues, reduces the need for maintaining physical devices, speeds up regression testing, and helps us identify UI and performance bugs at early stages across different OS and screen sizes. I really like the ease of use and access to network logs, which means we don't have to rely on developers to get network-enabled builds, allowing us to debug issues directly during testing. The initial setup was very easy since we had corporate one-time sign-in authentication. We're happy using BrowserStack, and I would rate it 8 out of 10 in terms of recommending it to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometimes crashes or becomes very slow when network logs are enabled. Also, many of the devices don't have the option to enable network logs, which limits debugging capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BrowserStack makes cross-browser and cross-device testing extremely easy without needing to maintain an internal device lab. The ability to test on real devices, with accurate versions of browsers and OS combinations, has saved our QA team a lot of setup and maintenance time. Its seamless integrations with CI/CD tools also help in automating test pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, real device sessions take a few seconds to load, and performance may be slightly laggy depending on the network. The pricing can be a little high for smaller teams, especially if you want access to all advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) The range of devices and browsers available for testing. The journey is user friendly, simple and system works fast.

2) Accessibility scanning, easy to use was fast and I can test across browsers and devices this has been our main go to with European accessibility act and American disability acts coming in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) I can't open in one go with two different browsers and devices on BrowserStack, for example - there are times I want to open apple and google (or Apple v Samsung) side by side to test the journey especially when presenting to stakeholders the journey.

2) As a new(ish) user who is only using Browserstack for a limited use case, I would like a tooltip or AI tool that will help me show in the tool the other uses I can use this system for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about BrowserStack is how easy it makes testing across different browsers and devices without needing to manage physical devices. It saves a lot of time and helps quickly identify issues that only appear on specific environments. The platform is reliable, easy to use, and fits well into everyday development and QA workflows.

One thing I dislike about BrowserStack is that sometimes the sessions can feel a bit slow or laggy, especially when working with real devices. Also, there is less support for older devices so for an app developer its hard sometime to test. Also debugging through the remote environment can occasionally be less smooth compared to testing locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of devices available to customers is a huge plus. In my experience, the devices are also very reliable - I don’t think I’ve had a single one fail or misbehave. The time it takes for devices to spin up is really quick as well.

I’ve also used the BrowserStack API to automate tests with Selenium. We were then able to add those tests into a pipeline, which gave us a lot of confidence, especially since most of our user base is on Apple iPhone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be really helpful if I could log into devices and use account features directly on the devices themselves. I do a lot of payments testing, so being able to set up an account on Android or Apple and then use the wallet features would significantly improve our ability to test consistently across different devices.

I’ve also noticed that the iPhone dev tool functionality can be a bit temperamental. In some cases, the dev tools don’t load at all, while in other instances they work seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I liked about BrowserStack is App Live and App Automate. App Live allows me to test mobile applications on real devices directly from the browser without needing physical devices. It helps me quickly check the app’s behavior, UI, and functionality across different devices and operating systems. App Automate is also very useful because it allows me to run automated tests on real devices and browsers, which saves a lot of time and improves the efficiency of the testing process. Together, these features make BrowserStack a powerful tool for mobile and web application testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about BrowserStack is that sometimes the session can feel slow or laggy, especially when using real devices through the cloud. This can make testing a bit less smooth compared to using a physical device. Additionally, the free trial has limited access and session time, which can restrict extensive testing. However, despite these limitations, BrowserStack is still a very helpful tool for cross-browser and cross-device testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BrowserStack is an essential tool for our SaaS company. Building software that works consistently across platforms—even in the age of AI—has become increasingly difficult. Android, iOS, Windows, Apple, and Linux, each with multiple versions, all require testing against every release of our software.

We’re a small company with an even smaller QA team, so BrowserStack makes a real difference. It lets us test across multiple platforms and browser versions at the same time, and it includes UI experience comparisons that help us spot issues quickly. Without BrowserStack, our QA department would probably still be beta testing our first version. Overall, it’s a great piece of software that helps us deploy with a high level of confidence in the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to choose a downside to BrowserStack, it would be the speed of the software tests. Occasionally it can run slowly which holds things up. It's not that often and, given the time save of using it, isn't that big of a deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its like very easy to use, and no need to use real devices for testing for both Cross-browser testing and multiple mobile devise application testing. And it is very easy to use no need local setup we can connect by remotely to many different devices with different Android versions. quick response from the customer support. its very easy for the small implementations which we wanted . And i have using frequently since from past 2 months without any major issue. and it can connect smoothly with existing different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some times few Samsung devices getting struck in between the testing phase. few mobile devices are not supporting for Playstore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
