BrowserStack Reviews & Product Details

BrowserStack is most helpful for quickly testing across a wide range of real devices and browsers without needing to maintain that hardware internally. It saves time, makes cross-platform QA much easier, and helps us catch device-specific issues earlier in the development process. It is especially useful for verifying behavior on different OS and browser combinations in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall it is very useful, but performance and session setup speed is a bit slow compared to testing locally, however I'm not sure if anything can be done at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use BrowserStack for cross-browser testing and low-code automation. I appreciate the flexibility of choosing the exact browser and device versions to replicate issues on the exact device, which is very helpful. The all-in-one dashboard for Percy provides a good UX and a good number of devices are available. I find local testing seamless since no VPN setup is required, making integration easy. It saves lots of time and effort in development and testing. The initial setup was very easy with no hassle at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The responsiveness of Android/iOS devices as the scroll is very laggy and unresponsive. Makes it difficult to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BrowserStack is easy to use and makes my daily testing work smooth. As a manual tester, I use it every day to test apps on different devices, and it works well. Launching apps, installing builds, device response, UI performance, and switching devices all work smoothly. Device availability is also good. It is easy to implement and integrate with our testing process. If any issue happens, the support team is helpful and responds quickly. Compared to Kobiton, BrowserStack feels faster and simpler to use, which saves time and makes testing more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about BrowserStack is that when testing on multiple devices, if the internet gets interrupted or disconnected during execution, the device may freeze. After reconnecting, the device usually goes into loading, and only in rare cases it reconnects, that too sometimes only one device. Most of the time it disconnects after a few minutes of loading. Then we have to take the devices again and start the whole setup from the beginning, which takes extra time during testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Browser Stack is widely considered the industry standard for cloud-based testing, primarily because it provides instant access to over 30,000 real mobile devices and browser combinations. Reviewers frequently praise its ability to catch "real-world" bugs that emulators often miss, making it an essential tool for ensuring cross-browser compatibility and a seamless user experience. Its greatest strengths lie in its user-friendly interface and robust CI/CD integrations, which allow teams to automate their testing pipelines with minimal setup. By enabling parallel test execution, it significantly slashes testing cycles, helping developers ship code faster without the massive overhead of maintaining an in-house hardware lab.

The most common complaint is latency. Because you are streaming a remote device, there can be a noticeable "lag" between your click and the screen responding. This makes manual testing feel sluggish and can cause automated tests to time out or fail randomly if the connection dips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use BrowserStack for cross-browser and cross-platform testing. I really like the emulator part of BrowserStack. The sensitivity feature and viewport change features are particularly helpful, as I need to test multiple applications and websites on different devices and viewports. These features really help me test my applications on various platforms. The initial setup of BrowserStack is very easy: just login and choose the desired platform and device.

The mobile compatibility, like if I want to test an application as an emergency and I don't have access to a laptop, then I should also be able to test applications on mobile devices on BrowserStack simply by logging into the platform on a browser. There's a dependency on laptops that I'd like to be eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
