The tool's very first benefit is zero maintenance. You need not take care of your controller or load generator, so there is zero maintenance. The second benefit of the tool would be in the area of user management. You can create multiple projects and then have them assigned to different workspaces or different teams. You can have your scripts uploaded in a structured way. Whenever we have any issues, depending on the severity, we get a response from the support team, which saves time. The tool is very user-friendly, so you can save a lot of time in terms of your preparation activities. The tool is in isolation. If you need some help with scripting, we write some prompts and get the required custom code from OpenAI or Copilot, but not the integration. I recommend the tool to others. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Get yourself familiar with what the needs are. Go ahead and look at the Gartner chart. Look at the challenges and who is dominating this particular space in terms of load. If you're looking at server performance, then definitely CloudTest can be a solution for you. Also, if you don't want to spend time setting up the solution on-premises, then CloudTest is good because it is quick. It takes a moment to get the license, and on the very next day, you can get started on load testing. 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.
It all depends on what you're looking for, but this solution is exactly what we need for performance testing and load testing of this. We never have to panic during campaigns, because I usually don't know what's going to be the response. Thanks to the testing that can be done beforehand, I know what to expect from other vendors. This is the response time I expect from them. My rating for Akamai CloudTest is, therefore, nine out of ten.

We use the public cloud version of the solution. I would rate this solution six out of ten.
