| Solutions Architect ICT at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use this solution for stress-testing and find it easy to set up and user-friendly with reasonable, flexible pricing. Support is excellent, and it feels stable. My main issue is bypassing logins for web app tests. I recommend it. |
| Technical Test Manager at QAssure Technologies | 5.0 | I find LoadView from DCM an excellent, cost-effective cloud-based tool for monitoring and load testing. It's easy to use, offers great support, and provides realistic browser emulation, making it superior to other solutions I've tried. |
| Lead Performance Engineer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I find this flexible, cloud-based load testing platform excellent for web apps, requiring no infrastructure. Setup is fast, offering great ROI, and I've never executed tests quicker. I only wish it supported non-web technologies. |
We use the solution for stress-testing of some APIs and web applications.
It's too early to note how it's improved the company. The first test, already gave us a really quick answer. That was okay.
It's actually quite easy to set it up. You can change your upgrade plan at any time. The pricing is reasonable.
The support was also very good. They are great at helping you set it up.
Overall, it's user-friendly.
I like that you can also use different servers, which I used in Europe or in different contexts.
The reporting is okay. I can get notifications via email, which is nice. Everything is immediate and in real-time.
If I do the web application test, I want to bypass a login part. A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet.
I've been using the solution for three months.
The solution is stable. I didn't encounter any issues regarding setting up a plan or running a plan. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.
The solution can scale.
Depending on your plan and the cost, it expands. That said, for the web server testing, there's a limit to the number of users you could add. For the API, you can do hundreds. However, for the web surfer test, it is limited to 100 or 250. I'm not sure yet.
Only our team is using the solution right now. There are two of us doing testing with it.
We have found the technical support to be helpful and responsive.
They first helped us set up some scenarios and also on how to optimize or handle the costs involved. They said, "if you do this, it will be cheaper," or, "it is better to upgrade your plan after one month and then decrease your plan again." That was helpful. They know what they were talking about.
Positive
Using this solution is still an experiment for us. It is a new application. We wanted to do quick testing. This one was nice. Previously, we did some testing with RadView, however, at a certain point, costs were involved and were quite high.
We also did some work with BlazeMeter.
The initial setup is easy, and if you need more help, they are there to assist.
It is just a matter of choosing a payment plan and then within five to ten minutes, you can start using it.
You only need one or two people to deploy the product.
We handled the deployment ourselves, in-house.
We do get an ROI in terms of if it's a stress test that would've failed due to what we did, then it would've cost us money. It helps save us from that.
The pricing is good, and as a SaaS, you can change your tier as required. It's pay as you use. If you don't use it, you don't pay. That's a great benefit for us. You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month. Then, if you want to simulate a stress test, you can see what a single one will cost. It really depends on how you use it. However, you do get everything in a bundle. They don't separate out features into different costs.
We tested BlazeMeter and RadView.
We're using it as a SaaS. We are customers.
I'd advise users to try it out. It works well, and it is cheap.
I'd rate it an eight out of ten.
We have implemented Monitoring and Load testing Solutions. It's very handy to use and easy to implement. We have complex applications with various steps of use cases. We used the recorder to get the scripts done intact and we ran the load test to fix performance issues and utilised the same script for monitoring using UserView as well.
If we want to quickly run a load test during our short sprints for a development piece that we have made, we do not need to have the hassle of setting up load generating infrastructures, etc. We can quickly record, parameterise, and purchase the user license, then execute the test and we get the results.
LoadView is a perfect cloud-based load testing tool. It has a wide range of technological support. It gives protocol and realistic browser emulation, which is a big plus. Its ease of use and solid customer support help us build use cases very quickly. Overall, the tool has incorporated all the best features together.
As of now, the tool builders have done a remarkable job of fixing most of the pitfalls on performance tools available in the market. Going forward, they can keep adding support to several platforms.
Nope.
Not at all.
Customer Service:
That is the best thing with Dotcom-Monitor. They have the best customer support. Turnaround times are quite fast and they give the perfect solution to our problems.
Technical Support:
On the scale of one to 10 (one being lower and 10 being higher), I would rate it a 10.
Yes, I have used lots of tools, mostly the license cost is expensive or they are not fully-cloud based, and the setup and maintenance costs are huge. Hence, I started using this tool.
It is pretty simple.
As I know this solution is very cost effective in the market, the ROI is very good.
I have used lots of available market tools. I really feel the ease of use, good support of the technology, the fully-cloud-based with almost nil setup costs, and very good pricing of user licenses make this a best bet in the current market.
I was scanning through loads of tools. I find it effective in terms of implementation, maintenance, and cost. DCM has best suited my requirements.
Keep up the great support DCM.
Cloud-based load testing platform, which is very flexible and can be used for load simulation on a broad range of web-based devices, such as Chrome, IE, Firefox, iPhone, and many more. Protocol, headless, and real browser based load testing.
Scripting of complex web 2.0 applications is very easy, as there is no infrastructure for load injection machines required, waterfall charts for result analysis.
Focus just on the load test implementation, execution, and results analysis. Do not worry about product deployment, because this is done by the vendor.
Add support for non-web-based technologies.
Four months.
No issues.
No issues.
No issues.
They are very good and have a fast time to resolution.
Yes, LoadRunner and Silk Performer. We switched because LoadView is cheaper and there is no infrastructure required.
The initial setup is very easy because it is a full web-based solution. Only the scripting tool needs to be deployed on your personal machine.
Implemented a test in less than 15 minutes by myself.
Excellent, small investments due to the pay-as-you go pricing model.
Mix protocol and real browser based user to save money.
LoadView is a flexible solution, which protects your investments. I have never created and executed a load test faster than with this cloud-based platform. They support a broad range of mobile devices, headless, and real browser-based load injection. Once your load test has been completed, you can reuse the created scripts for availability and performance monitoring in your production environments. An excellent fit for forward-thinking businesses.
