Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."
"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."
"The solution is very stable."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."
"The most valuable part of the product is the way you can scale the basic testing easily."
"I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."
"It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."
"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."
"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."
"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
