We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very stable.""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 level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible.""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."

"The most valuable aspect is that the IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process.""The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting.""The solution is simple and useful."

Cons
"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.""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.""The test clip should be more user-friendly."

More Akamai CloudTest Cons →

"The reporting side of things is really complicated. It's difficult to get out exactly what you're looking for, there are almost too many options.""There is no analytical dashboard.""Technical support is slow and wastes a lot of time, so it needs to be improved."

    Overview

    Soasta's CloudTest rapidly builds realistic test scenarios using real user data, then tests, analyzes and repairs faster. CloudTest's visual test environment and real-time analytics test your website, mobile app and api backend to give you a streaming view of all your performance data while tests run from back-end systems to front end performance.

    RadView WebLOAD is an enterprise-scale load testing solution that enables your organization to simulate massive user loads and understand how your application, servers, database, and other components behave to identify bottlenecks. The solution allows you to easily and rapidly record sessions and turn them into robust test scripts that you can execute in a variety of realistic runtime scenarios. RadView WebLOAD is capable of generating reliable and real-life load scenarios even for the most complex systems. It supports Windows and Linux OS systems, and is suitable for organizations of all sizes. 

    RadView WebLOAD Features

    RadView WebLOAD has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • IDE: IDE full form is an integrated development environment that helps users edit and debug load scripts.
    • Load generation: RadView WebLOAD’s load generation feature generates load from on-premise and the cloud.
    • Correlation: RadView WebLOAD offers automatic connection of the dynamic values such as session IDs and allows a script to be executed dynamically with many virtual clients.
    • Analytics: With the solution’s analytics, you gain access to a set of predefined analysis reports that provides performance data.
    • Performance Measurements Manager (PMM): The integrated PMM collects server-side information throughout test runs.
    • Web dashboard: With RadView WebLOAD’s web dashboard, test results can be executed from any web browser. 
    • Code-free parameterization: RadView WebLOAD turns recorded values into dynamic parameters, including date, time, input files, random strings, and more. These values are automatically populated at runtime to create richer testing scenarios.
    • Intelligent validation logic: You can define validation criteria, like expected page title, size, and content, in order to validate business transactions. You can also write custom code in JavaScript that can later be reused across your test library.

    RadView WebLOAD Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing RadView WebLOAD. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Easy to get started: RadView WebLOAD’s test development environment combines the ease of recording with the power of JavaScript. To get started, users simply need to navigate through the application using a web browser or a mobile device. WebLOAD captures your actions and automatically translates them into a test script. 
    • Realistic load scenarios: RadView WebLOAD gives you the ability to simulate realistic and varied load conditions for an unlimited number of users. By using the load scenarios, you can define a variety of scripts, browsers, network characteristics, and schedules in a single test run. Virtual users have a very small footprint to optimize hardware usage.
    • Actionable intelligence: RadView WebLOAD transforms client and server-side data collected during test execution into actionable intelligence. You can use the data to improve the performance of your application. In addition, RadView WebLOAD provides a comprehensive view of performance at the level of the system, transaction, component, and end user. 
    • Mobile recording and playback: You can test your applications in mobile, multi-device environments and can also record directly from the mobile device or from a simulator. During test execution, you can mix different browser types and connection speeds to accurately simulate real conditions.
