Three Years with Selenium, Appium, and BrowserStack: An Honest Review
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been working with Selenium and Appium in Java for more than three years now, and during this time, one tool that has really become a core part of my setup is BrowserStack. In the beginning, I mostly used Selenium locally to automate web applications, but as soon as cross-browser coverage and multiple operating systems became a requirement, BrowserStack became the natural choice. Instead of maintaining a Selenium Grid or juggling driver and browser version mismatches, I could just connect my tests to BrowserStack’s cloud and instantly get access to all major browsers and versions. Running tests on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and even Safari on macOS machines became seamless, which is something I could never have pulled off locally without a lot of infrastructure effort.
One feature I found especially handy is the live debugging and video recordings of test sessions. Whenever a test failed, I didn’t have to just rely on stack traces or screenshots. BrowserStack gives you video replays, console logs, network logs, and device logs, which made debugging so much easier.
Parallel execution was another game-changer. Locally, running tests in parallel across browsers or devices always felt complicated, but with BrowserStack it was straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?
Test execution on BrowserStack is usually slower compared to running locally because of network latency and shared cloud resources. For long regression suites, this delay can add up significantly
Idle sessions often time out quickly. If you’re debugging or waiting for a build to complete, you might lose your session midway.
Since it’s cloud-based, the experience heavily depends on your internet connection quality. A poor connection can make debugging very frustrating.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’ve been able to run the same automation scripts on local environments for quick feedback and then on BrowserStack for full coverage across browsers, devices, and operating systems. For me, BrowserStack has bridged the gap between “automation in theory” and “automation in the real world,” where you need to be sure that your web and mobile apps behave correctly for every type of user. Even after three years, I still find it an essential part of my testing workflow.
Browser stack is very useful especially for QA engineers for doing compatibility testing
What do you like best about the product?
Im basically QA Engineer where im supposed to do testing on multiple browsers , OS and multiple devices, for achieving it browser stack really helped a lot as we dont have to carry multiple devices and affording them also wouldnt be cost effective. With browser stack we are able to do QA on multiple browser and OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel connectivity and speed is bit slow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us in cost management. Instead of buying multiple devices we are managing testing on different environment using browser stack
Real time device simulator with perfect precision
What do you like best about the product?
I like the multiple device type support that browser stack is offering
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support is not upto mark and the pricing is also way too far than that of expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It resolved the challenges of maintaining physical devices when comes to compatiblity check across devices
Browserstack with Clubforce
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use for the emulated devices
What do you dislike about the product?
The only major drawback for browserstack is the pricing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Load Testing and app testing are the main uses for us as we have a very large client base
Outstanding Product
What do you like best about the product?
BrowserStack is an outstanding platform for cross-browser and cross-device testing. It allows developers and QA teams to instantly test websites and applications across thousands of real devices, operating systems, and browsers without needing to maintain a complex in-house lab.
The biggest advantage is its real device cloud—unlike emulators or simulators, you’re testing on actual devices, which gives far more accurate results. The performance is smooth, setup is quick, and the platform integrates seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI.
I especially appreciate the Live Testing feature for quick manual checks and the Automate functionality for running Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright test suites at scale. The debugging tools (screenshots, logs, video recordings, network traffic capture) make identifying and resolving issues much faster.

What do you dislike about the product?
One major drawback is performance—sessions can be slow, with noticeable lag during live testing, especially on older devices. This makes it frustrating to debug UI issues in real time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to run tests across various devices and platforms is a big plus.
BrowserStack is easy to use tool and are continuously upgrading
What do you like best about the product?
This product is incredibly easy to use, even for beginners. Its intuitive design and smooth usability makes tasks more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lag and slowness: Testing environments can be slow to load, especially on older devices or with certain browsers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple browser testing
Browser Stack is a tool for real device testing
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool for real device testing. App live allows for real device app testing. Easy to stepup and begin testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited reporting capability within the testing tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
.BrowserStack allows testers to conduct tests across multiple platforms in a single testing cycle, which helps reduce execution times. It enables testers to perform testing without needing physical devices.
Great for Multi-Platform Testing
What do you like best about the product?
I really like that I can test in different browsers on different types of devices. I only have Apple products and being able to test on PC is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can take a little long to load a session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to access different versions of OS and browsers
Great app

i use app live and the availability of devices is good, the location and time zones changing has been very helpfull for my team
What do you dislike about the product?
you need a really good laptop to run BS correctly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a few mobile apps and the app live product has helped us with the "device farm"
Visual Testing improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Browser Stack Percy tool helped me to improve visual testing automation efficiency in my team. The results of the tests always help to find regressions for UI that I would not be able to notice myself.
The demo to other teams in a company pushed other teams also to start using the tool, making our UX team happy as well.
Very easy to integrate and implement with existing Playwright tests in any languages.
