I was highly satisfied working with PFLB. They’re a fantastic one-stop shop for software performance, with everything you need—their platform and skilled engineers. I’ve used them four times to load test the College Board software before big updates, and it all went smoothly. Plus, I love that they store all the testing data, so we can track performance capacity over time.

It was a pleasure working with PFLB, and I’d recommend them for performance testing. They quickly got up to speed with our complex software architecture and were super productive in setting up our load test environment in the cloud. They were really dedicated to improving our product with their strong expertise in performance optimization.
