Decisions about Sauce Labs
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Sauce Labs in their tech stack.
Rinchin Mahajan
I am looking to purchase one of these tools for Mobile testing for my team. It should support Native, hybrid, and responsive app testing. It should also feature debugging, parallel execution, automation testing/easy integration with automation testing tools like Selenium, and the capability to provide availability of devices specifically for us to use at any time with good speed of performing all these activities.
I have already used Perfecto mobile, and Sauce Labs in my other projects before. I want to know how different or better is AWS Device farm in usage and how advantageous it would be for us to use it over other mentioned tools

Sauce Labs Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Sauce Labs?
TestingBot
TestingBot provides automated and Manual cross browser testing in the cloud. Make sure your website looks ok in all browsers.
BrowserStack
BrowserStack is the leading test platform built for developers & QAs to expand test coverage, scale & optimize testing with cross-browser, real device cloud, accessibility, visual testing, test management, and test observability.
CrossBrowserTesting
It's implemented to ensure a website's functionality and design and includes testing a range of devices and operating systems being used in the market and customer base.
Selenium
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
Kobiton
It enables developers and testers to perform automated and manual testing of mobile apps and websites on real devices.
Modern DevOps and Quality environments require apps to be tested on hundreds of device/OS/browser combinations. Managing an in-house device-lab is expensive, resource intensive, restrictive and very manual.
Kobiton allows for instant provisioning of real devices for testing with automated or manual scripts, and also allows current on-premise devices to be plugged in to form a holistic testing cloud.
