VERY USEFULL FOR QA ON REMOTE LOCATIONS

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Applause from other similar products?

One of the leaders in the market. Lot of years of experience on crowd testing, global coverage on regions, devices and technologies. LArge number of testers working for them.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Having local testers on remote locations for running QA cycles.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Testers are working for other companies as well, some times BUgs are reported with higher severity to earn more money. We normally spend a lot of time curating Appluase reports. Business model is quite rigid, based on slots (technologies) meanning if you want to oftenly move from one technology to another you need to have a Multi slot license which is very expensive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do a benchmark comparison to make sure Applause business model adapts to your own use case, otherwise you might find alternatives at a more convenient price.
