Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The solution is very stable."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."
"This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."
"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."
"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"The interface should be made attractive."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
