| No correlation is required. | Correlation might require. |
| Only one action. | Multiple actions are possible. |
| Accepts Javascript code as values | Might accept javascript code as values. |
| Needs larger footprint than other protocols for replay. | Requires less footprint when compared with AJAX TruClient |
