Akamai CloudTest Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Manager - Performance Architect at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Akamai CloudTest for load testing, particularly for APIs and web pages. It's user-friendly and offers live monitoring with customizable dashboards. However, improvements like app-native support, IP spoofing, and integration with APM tools are needed. Gatling is a cheaper alternative.
Senior Manager - Performance Architect at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees4.0I primarily use Akamai CloudTest for load testing, finding it easy to set up and cost-effective compared to previous solutions. I recommend it, despite wishing for better EPM integration and improved resource efficiency for extreme user loads.
Director - DevOps and Infrastructure at INTIGRAL4.5I use Akamai CloudTest for performance and load testing to ensure application readiness and scalability. Its detailed analysis is a strong point, outperforming open-source tools, though CI/CD integration needs work. I rate it 9/10.
Test Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees3.0I've used the solution for a year, finding its cloud agents valuable, stable, and scalable. However, the test clip is not user-friendly, initial setup was challenging, and customer support is poor. I rate it 6/10.
Senior Quality Manager at a tech company with 10,001+ employees3.5I find Soasta CloudTest an awesome, low-cost tool for web performance testing, enabling dynamic load generation across geographies. My main issues are the challenging technical support access and manual IP whitelisting required for initial setup.
Sr Analyst - Quality Engineer at a tech company with 10,001+ employees3.5I have used this for 3+ years. It offers great AWS integration and realistic load testing. Customer service is good, but the UI often gets stuck, and we sometimes face minor stability/scalability issues.
QA Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0I found CloudTest powerful, easy to set up, and intuitive for performance testing, even easier than JMeter for grid scaling. My training support was strong, but I haven't applied it to a project yet.
