Review of Kobiton
This app helps us test, diagnose, and resolve device/OS specific issues. It also gives us the ability to gather screenshots on various different screen sizes and devices.
PROSI like the fact that there are various different devices to choose from. When we get reports of issues happening that we are unable to reproduce, I can come to Kobiton to test on a similar device. It also makes gathering screenshots for different screen sizes quick and easy since many app stores require screenshots for various screen sizes. What's better than having real devices (in the cloud) to test on. Especially when we are a growing company and do not have an unlimited amount of resources to spend on test devices. Kobiton is simply awesome!
CONSIt is hard to mention anything here as I love Kobiton. But I have noticed that when I use iOS devices it usually requires me to log into my apple ID to download apps from the app store. Not sure if that is something Kobiton could fix or if it's normal iOS behavior (I am more of an Android guy so I'm not sure). I also noticed sometimes I cannot even get into the store. It will ask for a pattern code to be entered (I assume this is security set up by Kobiton to prevent tampering with settings and such but this should not block the App Store but it does on some devices).

Access to all the devices we need
Excellent Product for testing and outstanding support from the Kobitron Team!
PROSI love the way I can search for a Phone or OS version and deploy our software for testing in minutes! I also like the way it automatically records my actions and creates a session, which I can forward onto our developers who can see what I did and have access to the logs and video!
CONSNothing bad but I would like to be able to see the dates of when I uploaded our application shown on the screen without having to click on the application and viewing the details.
Reasons for switching to Kobiton
Due to the Session/logs created after I've gone through some testing gets generated.

Kobiton for testing email apps
the idea we had when we decided to buy Kobiton was to test our email apps with a lot of devices, but we noticed that we can do it only on a few set of devices anyway when we can do it it's really useful
PROSI like the possibility to upload my own apk file for testing it with several devices
CONSThere are only few or none devices quite old and obsolete (i.e. android 5 devices) or new there are too less devices by chinese vendors Often I cannot use the device as for testing I need to allow notifications or geotracking but the device asks me the sign password, and I don't have it this is the major problem I have had

Value for the money
I think the value for the money is the best part of Kobiton
PROSBy using the public cloud, we get multiple options of devices to test for one price. Their customer support is pretty good. Will respond to issues with in few hrs to with in a business day.
CONSAt times, some public cloud devices will not be healthy (no memory, no network, etc) which will fail the tests randomly. When we report the issue to support, they are fixing or removing the device immediately.
Reason for choosing Kobiton
Cost was a major factor for us to decide the provider.

Used Kobiton to test mobile apps in hand, capture results so we could give detail feedback to devs
Faster app releases; more detailed defect data; speed of testing; much less expensive than AWS and Perfecto
PROSYou can download the software and set up your own device lab. We just downloaded to the Devs and Testers laptops so they could test using their own devices or . We could then shoot the test results directly into Jira or just email screenshots and videos to clients to verify a defect or successful test
CONSAt first Kobiton just looks like a cheaper/faster version of AWS device farm. It wasn't until I spoke with the sales guy that we realized we could use it to capture the output of the phone & app so we could plug into Jira and Jenkins. I would suggest they make that more clear that you can use your own devices.
