User Testimonials
	LoadComplete	Loadster
Likelihood to Recommend	SmartBear 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.

Pros	SmartBear Easy and handy UI options to select Good support from documentation Eye-catching results Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Loadster No answers on this topic
Cons	SmartBear Some graphs remain empty, I would like a description of why a certain graph cannot gather data. Allow user to customize the graph. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Loadster No answers on this topic
Usability	SmartBear Usability is really good because being an enterprise tool that might be an easy option to convince users to try this tool. It has a lot of easy-to-use, cool options. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Loadster No answers on this topic
Support Rating	SmartBear 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.

Alternatives Considered	SmartBear JMeter is a more flexible tool because it gives the possibility to write scripts. Incentivized Yury Vakhatov Test Automation Engineer Read full review	Loadster No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	SmartBear 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. Incentivized Kate Woodward Marketing Project Manager Read full review	Loadster No answers on this topic
