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.

I think that LoadComplete is adequate when you have Testcomplete. If LoadComplete is not paired with Testcomplete then there would be a bit of a learning curve. People who are already using Testcomplete will find it easy to start with LoadComplete but the tool itself has a lot to improve and support customization to suit our needs.

Customer support is good. If any concerns are raised, they are usually resolved soon, but when questioned about a feature LoadComplete does not support, it usually takes more time to resolve.

The bundle of features that other tools provide is much higher when compared to the one provided by Akamai CloudTest, this is something they need to focus on Priority. Most tools comes with default setup and ends to end testing scenario that can be covered, such as Regression testing. From Akamai CloudTest this is a missing features that can be added up soon.

JMeter is a more flexible tool because it gives the possibility to write scripts.

  • System Hangs as where severe load testing is required
  • Authentication is an issue when using OAUTH
  • Scalability can be improved and also an on premise tool can be of great help

  • This tool always yields eye-catching results. It has good support from the documentation. Also, it generates detailed reports which is a very good thing.
  • There is also a record and play feature in LoadComplete which means all applications can be recorded like Applications Servers’ Metric and so on.
  • This tool has a good reporting and record playback due to which I will recommend it.
