Please appreciate that we are the eValid team, so we may be somewhat biased.
Some friends and potential customers who have had direct experience with the new HP/Mercury offering have made a variety of observations about it in relation to eValid. The comments that seem most telling are these (paraphrasing):
* eValid is more direct -- more in your face -- and gives you a lot of data that the HP approach seems to hide from you.
* Handling complex AJAX applications is often easier with the eValid "record, test, and re-script" approach, and doesn't require programming skill.
* The charts the HP system creates are very pretty, but it is quite difficult to get specific inter-playback times from those runs, whereas that is fairly easy with eValid.
* eValid installation and operation is considerably simpler.
* eValid appears to scale very well, and seems to be very much more efficient in applying load.
From eValid's side we understand that, while HP/Mercury is a very large company and has very substantial resources to apply to product development, the eValid technology and product stand up very well by comparison.
