I see its available for download in several places.  Also, I see people saying its for members only.

Is it ok to use?

Is there a value in doing your own testing when you are trying out a camera or a loaner?

When we tested it, we had to get a membership to access the test tool.

The official test tool is available for download? I'd say that's likely (very likely) unauthorized.

You could use it, but it's sort of a flaky process. It has very little in the way of help files or instructions, and setting up a test so even a conformant camera passes is complicated.

We talk about all that in the ONVIF Mega Test.

I use ONVIF DM for basic checks, to see if things connect at all, do streaming profiles work, etc., but it won't give you a conformance report.
