Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator.""Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer.""CyberFlood is flexible.""CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."

More Spirent CyberFlood Pros →

Cons
"The performance could be a bit better.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times.""Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""The summary reports could be improved.""The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective.""During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time.""Reporting facilities can be better."

More Parasoft SOAtest Cons →

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
