It saved me a lot of time and helped me find issues quickly. The platform is simple to use and very helpful for compatibility testing. > > **Cons**: The cost of using BrowserStack feels a bit high, especially for small teams. Sometimes the pricing doesn’t seem fair for the features offered. It would be better if they had more flexible or cheaper plans. > > My overall experience with BrowserStack was good. I enjoyed using it for browser and device testing. It helped me make sure my websites worked well everywhere. The platform is reliable and easy to use. ----- ### "Overall feedback" — 3.0/5 > **Lua** | *9 September 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Some features are nice, such as being able to add subfolders, importing test cases from CSV files, and filtering by custom date range (FINALLY), dragging and dropping test cases (this is extremely helpful; we would like to see the same functionality applied in test cases inside of a test run. > > **Cons**: REPORTS. 1. It would be nice if we could filter reports by tags 2. It would be nice to create a report from all the projects instead of only individual ones Test runs: 1. It would be nice if we could also drag and drop the test cases inside a test run 2. It would also be a game changer if we could filter test runs by tags. My team and I would love to use tags a bit more, but at the moment, we feel its usage is pretty limited. > > Overall, my experience has been good. Sometimes there are some annoying bugs, but I'm glad you guys are introducing new features. The custom data range filtering will be a game changer for my team. ----- ### "Reliable Cross Browser Testing Tool - Browserstack" — 5.0/5 > **Yash** | *2 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - I can test on alomst any real iphone or android model without needing the physical hardwhere. - It makes it very easy to test my local dev env even when i'm behind a company's VPN. - It works well with our existing Playwright and Pyhton automation scripts. > > **Cons**: - There's often a big lag between my mouse click \& the remote devide responding. - It can take 20 30 sec, just to start a session, which feels slow when you are in a hurry. - It's definitely on the expensive side, especially when you start adding parallel testing slots for the team. > > It's a good tool that has become a part of our workflow. It helps us catch CSS bugs and layout issues on mobile Safari that we just can't see on desktop emulators. While the speed could be better and the cost is high, the reliability of testing on real devices makes it worth it for a professional team. ----- ### "Simplifying Testing with Real Devices and Seamless Automation" — 4.0/5 > **Abin** | *24 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about BrowserStack is how easily it brings everything together in one place. I can quickly access a wide range of real devices and browsers for live testing, which makes debugging much faster and more reliable without needing to manage physical devices(using Live and App Live), while also avoiding the overhead of maintaining an in-house device lab. At the same time, the platform fits well into our automation workflow with Automate and App Automate, allowing us to run tests in parallel and integrate with CI/CD without much effort. It also helps keep things organized with its test management capabilities, so tracking and maintaining test cases becomes easier. Overall, it has made the entire testing process smoother and more efficient, and whenever I’ve needed help, the support team has been responsive and useful. > > **Cons**: One area where BrowserStack could improve is performance consistency at times, especially when using certain devices where sessions can feel slightly slow or laggy depending on network conditions. Also, while the platform offers a lot of features, it can take some time to fully explore and get comfortable with everything, especially for new users. Occasionally, debugging automation failures can require extra effort due to limited visibility compared to local environments. That said, these are relatively minor compared to the overall benefits the platform provides. > > Overall, my experience with BrowserStack has been very positive. It makes both manual and automated testing easier by providing quick access to real devices and browsers, without the need for managing infrastructure. It fits well into daily workflows, from quick debugging to running automated tests, and has helped improve testing speed and efficiency. While there are occasional minor performance lags, it remains a reliable and valuable tool for the QA process. ----- Page: 1 / 32\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/162900/browserstack?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/162900/browserstack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
