Kobiton

What differentiates Kobiton from other similar products?

What differentiated Kobiton for us was the ability to access a wide variety of real devices without paying an arm and and a leg for dedicated devices. Because there's a big, shared pool of devices available to all clients, we're able to manually check our app against a wide assortment of device configurations when the need arises.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I think the simplicity of Kobiton is my favorite aspect. Everything from adding a new user to accessing a device is easy to do. I can give almost anyone in our company a login, and they're ready to start using the tool in no time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Currently the thing that irks me most often is how slow some of the devices can be. Whether it's the device itself or something in the remote connection, I often find myself waiting too long between actions, just so the device can catch up with me.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Where Kobiton shines is in its easy access for your whole team to perform manual, one-off tests on a broad swath of real devices. If you're considering this tool for automated testing (as we initially were), I recommend two things. First, before leveraging their scriptless solution, ensure your app is simple enough for it to handle. It's a slick feature to be sure, but it's not robust enough to record much more than simple navigation. Second, for anyone planning to run automated tests out of Katalon, I recommend connecting at least one dedicated device to your lab, as public devices are not consistently available for automated tests to hit.

What differentiates Kobiton from other similar products?

Kobiton stands out from other similar products due to its focus on mobile device testing and its comprehensive set of features for manual and automated testing on real devices.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One aspect that stands out in Kobiton is its user-friendly interface, which streamlines the mobile testing process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One aspect that some users may find challenging about Kobiton is its pricing structure, which may not be suitable for all budgets or usage levels.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For someone considering Kobiton, I would recommend thoroughly evaluating their mobile testing needs and comparing them with Kobiton's features and pricing. Additionally, taking advantage of any available trials or demos can provide valuable insights into how well the platform aligns with their requirements.
