    Good for simple requests, simple scripts, assertions, and small workflows. Also not bad with the Open Source version if savvy with code as you can do a lot with custom functionality.Free version has limited compatibility with scripts/projects created from the Pro version, but functionality-wise can probably be made up with coding. As such, the free version may not be too suitable for complex scripts or for those who are not familiar with coding as functionality/usability may be limited.

    WebLOAD is an imperative tool for our web manager and developers team. We rely heavily on this in our daily activities, mainly to run script testing (in record time) of new code prior to our build releases. This product helps us identify potential gaps and issues with the user flow and allows us to make adjustments and fix problems before they make it into the live production site. Our team also depends on this software to run multiple load testing of each server in preparation for heavy timeframes of the year, such as Cyber Monday, Black Friday, etc. Our team members brought up that they would love to see more scripting examples of how to use WebLOAD, which would make their job easier.

    • The load time of running a testing script can be long at times
    • It would be helpful to have multiple users/ devices to run under one membership

    Compared to SoapUI, we have been using "light" tools like RestClient extension in Firefox, or Postman. Compared to Postman, SoapUI is more simple for WSDL / SOAP webservices, as SoapUI generate all envelop, but Postman does not. For Rest API, I think that Postman is a little above SoapUI, but not too far away.

    There are many similar comparable products on the market, but with WebLOAD, the price point was reasonable. Their sales and engineering teams and very friendly and helpful and make our implementation a breeze. I would definitely renew our contract and recommend this to anyone out there looking for the best load-testing tool!
