Below are a few of the positive comments our clients provided for your benefit.

"Just wanted to let you know that I found your site tonight and was able to successfully create an account and run my first load test all within 45 minutes!

This is one of the more exciting cloud services I've found!" - Nathaniel Olson, Web Developer

Thanks again for a great product. " - Drew Clark, Information Services Specialist, Ohio School Boards Association

"LoadStorm is the future of load and performance testing. The cloud-based architecture makes it highly scalable and extremely low cost. I have used it for my clients and every time they are blown away by both the ease of use and the cost . More than one time a client has asked me 'really? that inexpensive? what's the catch?'. The great thing is there is no 'catch'. It is a just a tool that fills a huge need for countless companies across the world that think they cannot afford load testing. Now everyone can afford high quality load testing." - Lawrence Nuanez, Performance Engineer, ProtoTest

"I just wanted to thank you for your amazing service. I can't thank you enough." - Barry Bentley, Testing Professional.

"Thanks and I have to tell you that I am impressed with the software and your responsiveness . And you are right, the price is reasonable. It has been a pleasure to work with LoadStorm. We are excited about the product." - Mike Compton, V.P. of Information Technology, National Auto Research/Black Book, a division of Hearst Business Media

"While researching load testing solutions I became convinced of two facts. I could either spend several hundred dollars in man hours learning to script clunky shareware load simulators whose results would in the end still just be theoretical. OR; I could spend several hundred dollars in professionally developed software and services AND the man hours to implement and run the tests.

When I was introduced to LoadStorm’s service I was amazed at the ease with which I could set up a load test that didn’t “simulate” load but actually generated traffic against my web server in a real world worst/best case scenario. The free level of testing is useful enough but the cost of the Tornado was just too good to pass up.

Cost benefit is getting a month of service that costs less than what your developer or engineer costs by the hour. " - Russ Thomas, DBA, ESD112, Vancouver WA

"Your team has built a fantastic tool! I'm floored that I never heard of it before. I wanted to personally thank you and your team for developing such an amazing service . After just one day of using LoadStorm I was able to find bottlenecks in our site that hadn't been exposed through months of unit testing and development. Your tool is invaluable to anyone wanting to take an app to the masses and is the first I've tried that simulates real world scenarios on a shoestring budget. Because of LoadStorm, I'm now confident that our site won't fold at the slightest wave of traffic. Thank you." - Xavier Vargas, Director of Diminishing Returns, Adreeno.com

"As Webzzle traffic increases, we need to constantly improve performance to manage user's expectations. After each release, we proceed a test of the service at a massive scale. LoadStorm has solved a problem for us because we needed an inexpensive way to test the performance of our web application. We wanted to test 10,000 concurrent users on Webzzle, but the challenges of hardware and software installation/configuration prevented us from implementing an open source solution. We needed a tool that was quick, easy, and fit in our budget . LoadStorm provided that answer. I recommend their load testing tool to anyone. " - Xavier Vaucois, CEO of Webzzle

"Great service , it has helped us tremendously with finding and fixing the performance bottle necks in the web application we are currently developing. Overall, it is a great tool and we will be using it for more projects in the future." - Pete Baines, Software Engineer, Kinspeed Limited

"Very cool service! In a few minutes, you can point and click to set up a script to load test your web site (including, of course, XAF sites). When the test runs, you see a real-time graph of the results. I was able to see the average and worst-case response time for my site as the number of users grew. I was able to see the exact number of users which causes the processor to peg at 100% and the server to return errors for new requests. VERY cool. " - Adam Leffert, Web Developer, http://www.leffert.com
