A way more robust mobile emulator than the one provided by Android Studio
What do you like best about the product?
Genymotion is based on Virtual Box to provide reliable and performant virtual mobile testing devices. You can customize any parameter for the device which gives you a lot of flexibility. The device is detected as physical device instead of as an emulator.
What do you dislike about the product?
Each device is a Virtual Box VM wich means that if you don't keep an eye on the different virtual devices created, you will end will a bloated up hard drive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The virtual devices are much more stable and performant as the ones created by the official emulator. You will save e lot of time and money because using Genymotion will reduce the physical testing devices that you company will need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should consider paying for the cloud solution, that way you won't need to create the virtual devices locally and everything will be stored in a cloud server

Best android emulator for testing and debugging
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using genymotion for more than three years now while developing android applications with android studio. Genymotion consumes less computer resources compared to other android virtual devices and also emulates most of device features.

Almost magical!
Android in my browser, out of the box.

Huge!
Awesome Android for CI
Easy set up and configuration. With a simple ADB connect, we integrate with our existing CI environment - jenkins. It runs well and performance is enough for our tests.
Great product, saving us time and money!
I'm using this AMI as part of my CI process based on Jenkins.
It's running daily automated tests for non-regression, pull requests builder, and performance tests.
So far it's been smooth and reliable. The documentation is helpful and support is responsive - good job guys!
