What do you like best about BitBar?

The breadth of systems and devices available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BitBar?

We've run into a lot of issues over the past couple of years and our interactions with support have always been hit-or-miss: It was hard to get clear answers, or to find the right people (with the right level of technical knowledge) to talk to. Sales were really aggressive, last Fall, and we spent a lot of time trying to get clarity on a possible EDU discount. We were invited to sign contracts before having all the answers we needed. It felt a lot like a bad car dealership experience.

We were excited about the Record and Replay feature, though. It was a reason why we upgraded in 2019.

This year, when it was time for us to renew our plan, we got into the same confusing and frustrating conversations with sales. The rate they quoted us was $250 more than the renewal rate listed on our dashboard. We didn't get any explanation for the discrepancy and were asked to pay the highest rate. Nope. We'll take our business elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BitBar?

While there are free versions of browser testing app out there, using CBT is far more thorough and much more efficient. The cost of CBT is easily paid back in saved hours of work.

The overview dashboard is quick and to the point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BitBar?

While there are a lot of options to your tool (which is great and sets CBT apart from the rest), keep working on the UX, especially for novices (have a novice mode vs. expert mode, like GoogleAds does). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?

The various options to review the browser status, information are well organized. The automation tools are the most valuable though, let's us run the testing every night, we get to simply review the results at will to see if anything has changed. The onboarding process was great, very quick and easy to follow live tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BitBar?

I like the ease of testing our site over all the different browsers and devices. It is simple to use and the automation capabilities are outstanding if you are limited on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BitBar?

I have found nothing I dislike of the service so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BitBar:

This company is amazing to partner with and will help you in testing your website over every major browser and device. It is a time saver for any e-commerce company to make sure that all your customers can have the best purchasing experience they can while on your website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can now easily find bugs or issues that only appear on certain browsers and devices without tracking down devices and installing all the different browser versions, if our customers call in and report issues with our website. We can now ask what device and browser they are using and then run the test and see if we can replicate the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BitBar?

I prefer other tools compared to CrossBrowserTesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BitBar?

The free trial is such a great 'gotcha'.

It's supposedly a 7 day free trial -- But then when you sign up, you realize it's only available on iPad Mini and Galaxy Tab. Of course along with a message that says "Upgrade Today To Enjoy All Devices" blah blah blah.

Okay, you got me. I now totally want to signup. I feel such a great sense of trust and appreciation towards your platform.

I don't feel misled at all.

And I trust that your support service and customer service must be of equal quality to this initial experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BitBar?

I like the many OS/Browser combinations and the ability to run headless browser testing (CBT gives you double threads when running headless and the tests run MUCH faster). I think with CBT you get a lot for your money when comparing to other comparable services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BitBar?

I've seen a few times where the UI will change/break. Luckily I reached out and the CBT team fixed within an hour, so that was nice at least. I've also had my automated tests start randomly failing because a specific browser version is no longer supported (they changed support from Chrome 78 to Chrome 79). I would like to see the added capability of being able to upload and download files (my testing downloads PDF generated by our website and it is impossible to execute validation against them as they are stuck on the CBT VM). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BitBar:

I would start here if you are looking at these types of services. It has most of the important features, but has a more competitive price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to get our entire automated regression executed (with video recordings) in about 1/3 the time and not have to support a local infrastructure. Our previous local execution took around 12 hours, but now completes in 4. We can also very easily add more threads to make the tests run faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
