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.

It is very useful to add it mainly at the beginning of the app when each feature is finished and if the greatest importance of the app is its stability and a quick way to fix errors that are made during the changes. Do it when the app is finished; it's going to be quite time-consuming; however, applying it will go a long way in making sure the code hasn't been broken by changes and improvements.

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.
