Featured Reviews

Founder & Chief Executive Officer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Ensures high performance and adaptability while providing room for improved analytics and support
The analytics and reporting features can be improved, though they are good enough. If you have expertise, you can manage with what is included. However, it could be much better, especially with modern AI capabilities. When considering areas for improvement in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), there is a need for automated analysis and code-level support.
Muddisetty Arun Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
WorkSoft Certified Automation Engineer at Qualesce
Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
Worksoft Certify is a great product and brings good solutions. It is cost-effective, but not everyone is willing to pay the price. While it is nice and brings a great ROI, it appears to be a longer-term investment, which is why not everyone is eager to procure it given the issues related to licensing. I would recommend Worksoft Certify as a solution to others. My overall review rating for this product is 10.
