LoadView Reviews & Product Details

LoadView is a fully managed, cloud-based load and performance testing platform that helps DevOps teams, QA professionals, and performance engineers ensure their websites, web applications, APIs, and streaming media can handle real-world traffic without slowing down or crashing. By simulating from a handful to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, it reveals exactly how your systems behave under pressure—so you can fix bottlenecks before customers notice. What sets LoadView apart is that it runs tests in real browsers, not just simple HTTP requests. While many tools only measure raw server response times, LoadView reproduces the complete user experience—loading pages, executing JavaScript, rendering dynamic content, and interacting with your application exactly as a genuine visitor would. This produces performance data reflecting what users actually feel—accurate, actionable results. Building realistic test scenarios is fast and code-free thanks to the EveryStep Web Recorder. Simply click through your site or application—log in, search, add to cart, check out—and EveryStep captures every action into a reusable script you can replay across more than 40 desktop and mobile browser and device combinations, without writing a single line of code. For teams with existing assets, LoadView natively supports Postman Collections, JMeter scripts, and Selenium scripts, so you can reuse prior work and scale it into full load tests instantly. LoadView gives you precise control over how load is applied through flexible load curve options. The Load Step Curve ramps users up and down in defined increments to observe behavior at each level. The Goal-Based Curve targets a specific number of concurrent sessions—ideal for validating against a known traffic goal. The Dynamic Adjustable Curve lets you change load on the fly during a live test. With unlimited parallel testing, you can model everything from a gradual build to a sudden spike from a launch, flash sale, or viral moment. Running on a global cloud network, LoadView generates load from numerous geographic locations worldwide via leading providers like AWS and Azure, measuring performance the way real users in each region experience it. The infrastructure is fully managed—no servers to provision, no load generators to configure, and no hardware to maintain. For applications that aren't publicly accessible, the on-premise agent and behind-the-firewall testing options let you safely load test internal sites and pre-production environments without exposing them to the open internet. After each test, LoadView delivers detailed, easy-to-read performance reports with metrics like average response time, sessions per second, error rates, and waterfall charts that break down every element on a page. Performance data is correlated against your user load, so you can pinpoint the exact moment and component where problems begin—key insight for capacity planning, SLA validation, and continuous improvement. LoadView also integrates with CI/CD pipelines, letting you automate performance testing as part of your release process. LoadView serves organizations of every size, from startups to large enterprises across ecommerce, financial services, healthcare, government, education, and media. Common use cases include preparing for high-traffic events, validating launches, stress-testing APIs and chat apps, and ensuring platforms like Salesforce hold up under load. Pricing is flexible and transparent. A zero-commitment, pay-as-you-go on-demand plan is perfect for occasional tests, while monthly and annual subscriptions suit teams with ongoing needs and include rollover of unused resources. Custom enterprise plans add dedicated performance engineering, SSO, and advanced account management. Every new account starts with free tests and no contract.

"Take your time and ask"

4/5

What do you like best about LoadView?

The opportunity to test your system as you wish and create easy scripts for load testing is great. Even if you do not understand everything, you just can ask in the live chat and you will get helped quickly. You made a great tool there. Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LoadView?

You need to take your time, to understand what will happen. Get prepared first. Write yourself some notes. If you have a site, where you need to upload some data, you will need a link, not the data itself. Kinda dislike, that the script isn't acting like a human being. It runs very fast and if you want to have some delay, you need to insert them afterwards. But at least it's easy to insert. Just do a right-click on the line and insert a delay(); Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finaly, a solution to my stress testing problems"

5/5

What do you like best about LoadView?

I come from a background of running load tests using JMeter. While it is a great tool, I feel it is extremely difficult to setup and use and there are a lot of things involved in getting it right. As such, it was never a suitable tool for our case. Loadview on the other hand, almost solves all the issues we were facing when using manual load testing tools. It is easy to setup, to run relevant tests and also gives great looking reports. The support so far has also been very good. Overall, I am happy with this tool and intend to cotinue using it for the time being. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LoadView?

It is not much of a dislike, but I would recommend including more helpful hands-on tutorials/wizards for beginners. So for example, for any one who signs up, I believe they should get atleast enough credit to run one proper comprehensive test so that they can see themselves the results and experience the positives of the software. Along with this, there should be a more screen-prompt on screen tutorial teaching the users /guiding them to perform their 1st major test. Right now, the free trial is extremely limited in that, it will not allow any user to experience a full proper test, not even 1. So the user has to pay for a proper subscription to do so. Having the ability to experience just 1 full proper test (and not just a very limited one), would be very helpful I believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommended to get on a call with the loadview team for a walkthrough. It is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LoadView solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems we had before:

- Using JMeter, which is a much manual software

- No way to automate script writing

- needing expert (not so easily available) resources to learn and use JMeter or other manual load testing software

- Lots of time and effort wasted in getting stress tests right, due to the extreme difficulty of manual stress testing

Benefits:

- Loadview is very automated

- We do not have to learn or waste time on learning how to do manual scripts or how to get around using the manual software

- Scripting in loadview is very easy so it helps a lot

- We are able to run tests in minutes, with less hardware requirements, and the cloud nature of the app makes it very easy to store previous tests to showcase to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect Performance Test Easy to Use tool"

5/5

What do you like best about LoadView?

I find LoadView as the perfect tool for the end-to-end performance test cloud-based tool. Being a performance tester you need to test some API-based calling scenarios and some end-to-end recorded scenario test. Load view covers both of these requirements, and in addition, it gives you more functionalities as well. I like their pricing plans. A unique feature pays as you use it. This is very good when you have a limited budget or uncertainty either client will accept the tool or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LoadView?

As of now, I have not found any shortcomings in this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
