Good tool for performance testing and tuning for small and large projects. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karolis S. | Senior System Architect / Performance Team Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2024 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** Webload is easy to use, you can create simple tests with a built-in recorder or you can write sophisticated scripts inluding several techologies and frameworks like Java and Selenium on top of JavaScript which is the main language. It has various reporting features which can be customized by the user regarding to their needs through UI (temporary) or (permamently) through template files. It has competetive price and good customer support. My team is using WebLoad on daliy basis. Recommended! **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** If you want to have a various customizations like custom reports or sophisticated scripts, you need to be experienced user in software/programming, hence in some way it reminds me open source tools, but in some way it can be an advantage, since you can do your own customizations. Lacks of capabilities to tes reactive (async) based UI, this is the biggest disadvantage. For that purpose we use Selenium + Java + Webload, but it is not very easy to maintain and write the scripts. **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can test your POC's and then propose to the corresponding teams to implement them in the product. ### 2. Webload meets or exceeds the major solutions capabilities and support for a fraction of the cost. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul K. | MGR Global QA Comp Center, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2023 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** Webload has the capabilities of Microfocus LoadRunner, which many consider the gold standard of performance testing, at a fraction of the cost. As a 15-year-plus user of LoadRunner and instructor, I have to say that finding a tool that matches LoadRunner was the standard in selecting a tool at our company. With Webload, we are seeing response times in how our users experience the performance, allowing us to improve our product's quality. We are implementing a global performance engineering team for our cross-product testing needs. The support organization is highly responsive to our request to meet with us to help with difficulties in capturing and modifying our scripts and develop solutions for performance counters. In my 20-plus years of testing tools use, I have not seen such a responsive organization as the Radview support and development team. Thank you, Richard and Yam, for making yourself available when we need help. **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** I agree with others that the documentation and examples could use some work. The application is feature-rich, which is good, but it makes it challenging to keep up with the documentation and information on the Radview website. It seems some areas of documentation have not been updated in a release or two. **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** To be successful, we need to not only provide quality features but must maintain our non-functional requirements of performance between these products as well as integration to external systems. Webload is helping us first understand the current performance state for each product and will be used to validate how it performs when fully integrated and when we make technology changes. ### 3. Comprehensive tool for load testing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Uditha P. | Manager - QA, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2024 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** Helpful script recording feature Scalability and Performance Great support Flexible load test designing options Easy to script Detailed and customizable reports **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** Not much tutorials/knowledge base available outside **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** To identify bottlenecks earlier in the testing life cycle ### 4. Great fit for our needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2024 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** It is quite a flexible tool which can be used for both load testing, and functional testing. The best part is the the Radview team which is great in uncovering all the features that the webload tool has to fit your needs. **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** Nothing specific, we used it creating regular monitoring scripts which is not its main use case, so it took a bit of time to make it function properly, but the Radview team was very helpful in figuring out how to make it work for a use case that they have typically not used it for **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** When we initially went live with the website, we used webload for performance testing, but since then we have been using it as a monitoring tool to replicate user scenarios more like synthetic monitoring for which we created scripts that run every 30 minutes, and notify if there is a problem. ### 5. WebLoad Performance testing takes over! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Casey B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2023 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** WebLoad is an extraordinarily easy tool to use. Our organization had to replace our aging and unsupported performance tool. We chose WebLoad as it met all of our needs. We have many UI interfaces and a growing list of API's. We are now rebuilding all of our performance test suites using WebLoad. We have made huge progress. Multiple users with little to no performance testing experience are able to contribute thanks to the ease of use. It has a very powerful recording tool. The SaaS based console means we don't have to manage our own performance test machines anymore. This has to be one of the best and easiest transitions from one tool to a new one ever. Thank you RadView! **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** Nothing yet. Some users have little experience with javascript but that is not a problem with the tool. **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** Covers all of our application performance. It is very easy to use and quick to script new tests. ### 6. A strong tool for all load testing requirements **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vijaysai M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2024 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** Great support Flexible load test designing options Easy scripting Great result analysis options in Analytics **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** Other than the Radview tutorials and support, not much tutorials available outside **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helped me find many bottlenecks in the application ### 7. Excellent Performance tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Priya M. | Senior Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** Tool : Webload is an excellent performance tool. Its super lean, easy to use. It provides accurate and efficient load testing results. It also provides a detailed dashboard that helps my team to track the progress release over release. Technical Support : Webload technical team is extremely responsive. They listen to every single need, spends considerable amout of time to train the team and also provide assistance as quickly as possible. Our experience thus far has been very pleasurable as most of our qustions gets answered with couple hours ( sometime even in minutes .... !) **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** Sales assistance could better. Other than this, we dont see any issues with the tool **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Load testing for both smaller and larger applications 2. Monitor CPU/memory consumption suring/post run 3. Track performance results release over release 4. Run performance testing regionally ### 8. Excellent Performance Testing Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** The recording function makes the generation of the testing script much easier. The auto-correlation feature is so convenient that it will automatically detect which variables need to be grabbed from the previous HTTP response to the next request. **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** need some basic training for the use of the software and do not have a sufficient tutorial or valuable discussion regarding the software over the internet. **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows the tester generates performance testing scripts easily and monitor the performance testing by providing lots of valuable and credible testing data. ### 9. Great tool for testing of multilayer web applications. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tomas B. | Chief of design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2021 **What do you like best about WebLOAD?** We use WebLOAD for testing all applications developed by our company. We operate it on external projects (custom development) and internal products (software as a service). It is used purely for performance testing to ensure continuous improvements across upcoming versions of our products. It allows us to focus on proper development areas where we can experiment with changes in the code and instantly see if the change is beneficial for application performance. **What do you dislike about WebLOAD?** We didn't found any issues with the application so far. **What problems is WebLOAD solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use WebLOAD for performance tests. We are comparing various product setups and their dependency on the used hardware. ### 10.
