What differentiates HeadSpin from other similar products?
Headspin cloud support and Performance testing is better than browserstack. Headspin Network recording feature makes it unique in the market due to this feature we were able record problematic network parameters that enhanced our application performance. Viewing recorded tests and snapshots made it easier to view errors and make strategic decisions.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I loved Network recording feature which gave the ability to see parts of application where unnecessary data was being consumed. We pushed parallel testing to limits and added 100 devices to run them parallelly and to my surprise it out performed due efficient load balancing of Pboxes.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Reporting Dashboard is my most disliked part as they are using third party Grafana and it did not please clients with high expectations so we have to create our own reporting dashboard from scratch and integrated it with Headspin. On premises management of devices requires a lot of patience and support from the Headspin team. The support is good but still devices coverage was not good 20% of our devices remained offline and troubleshooting just continued throughout the project.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is a very good product if you are looking to improve the performance of your application and doing scalability testing. Besides integration of AI and ML pipelines is innovative and data management is getting better everyday. Cloud farming is good as we get real devices and network recording makes issues easier to reproduce due to advent of video and screen recording. Overall this is a good platform but a little bit expensive if your needs are small.
Pros
- Inspires Innovation
- Respectful
- Friendly Negotiation
- Continually Improving Product
Cons
- Charges for Enhancements
