I use OpenText LoadRunner Cloud primarily to run scripts and tests within our performance testing workflows.

OpenText LoadRunner Cloud’s features are technically similar to LoadRunner Enterprise or the standalone controller. However, a significant difference is in its depth of analysis. In the standalone LoadRunner analysis, I can merge graphs or set granular filters to obtain custom reports. Currently, LoadRunner Cloud provides direct custom reports, a feature that, if improved, might enhance our analysis. Another valuable aspect is the option to use JMX files, similar to JMeter scripts, with LoadRunner.

The analysis feature in OpenText LoadRunner Cloud requires improvement. In-depth analysis tools found in the standalone LoadRunner analysis, such as graph merging and setting granularity, would be beneficial. Additionally, handling JMX scripts in LoadRunner Cloud could be more comprehensive. It would also be convenient if there were options to convert scripts from competitor tools like NeoLoad to LoadRunner.

I have been using OpenText LoadRunner Cloud for about one and a half years. Initially, I used it a year ago, had a gap, and then started using it again in the last six months.

There is no difficulty in deploying OpenText LoadRunner Cloud from my perspective because a specific team in our organization handles the deployment of LoadRunner to our systems. We only use it once deployed.

OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is extremely stable for our use case, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.

OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is absolutely scalable. With load generators available, it is easily scalable to meet our needs.

I have not interacted directly with OpenText support. However, based on feedback from colleagues, the support could be faster.

I have used NeoLoad in past projects, but currently, I use only OpenText LoadRunner Cloud.

Our own organization has a team responsible for deploying all software, including OpenText LoadRunner Cloud. We did not rely on third-party services for deployment.

I have evaluated NeoLoad in my previous work assignments.

I would appreciate documentation or some links to videos on AI-driven testing strategies with OpenText LoadRunner Cloud. I rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud ten out of ten.

I have started to work with Apache JMeter and BlazeMeter for performance testing. BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast platform for running performance tests via the cloud, allowing me to upload JMeter script files and execute performance tests based on my requirements.

BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast cloud platform to run JMeter script files, eliminating the need for storage or load providers. BlazeMeter integrates with JMeter via multiple plugins, which streamlines performance testing, test monitoring, and report sharing. It also generates random test data, such as credit card numbers, on the fly. This setup saves me time and effort.

BlazeMeter could improve by consolidating features into existing plugins instead of developing separate plugins for similar tasks. For instance, the extra CSV random dataset plugin could be integrated with a simple checkbox in the existing CSV dataset plugin to read files randomly. Such integration would simplify the processes.

I have worked with BlazeMeter on and off for the past four to five years, but I have been using it continuously for the past two months.

I would rate the stability of BlazeMeter as eight out of ten, indicating that it is a stable and reliable solution.

BlazeMeter is quite scalable, and I rate its scalability as nine out of ten.

The customer service is not available 24/7, which affects its rating. I would rate it as a seven because they respond once they are available.

Before BlazeMeter, I was doing distributed load testing locally on my machine, which constrained my resources. BlazeMeter allowed me to handle loads beyond my local machine's capabilities.

The initial setup was straightforward, with BlazeMeter operational within minutes upon uploading the necessary files.

BlazeMeter's pricing depends on the type of account used. They offer multiple account types, with cost variations based on features accessible under each account.

I did not evaluate other products as I have already used BlazeMeter for multiple projects.

Based on my experience, I recommend BlazeMeter to others. Overall, I rate the solution as eight out of ten.
