Akamai CloudTest vs. dotcom-monitor LoadView

We were designing an Airlines reservation system, where we wanted to check the maximum number if reservation our system can handle, this tool helped us to get the test results but the issue was from set up point of view, the initial set up took too much time. But we were able to achieve our Reservation system process.

dotcom-monitor LoadView is great for testing our ability to handle large amounts of visitors and their interactions with our site. It's also great at testing more complex interactions. For us, it's been invaluable for preparing for big events like class registration and wide-scale virtual events. It doesn't work as a CI tool but they do offer other products to serve that purpose.

dotcom-monitor LoadView is the only product like it that I have used. It's been extremely reliable and the organizations I have worked with who use it have been existing customers. I am sure other products like it exist, but I have never encountered any issues that would persuade me to start evaluating competitors
