We performed a comparison between Akamai CloudTest, OpenText LoadRunner Professional, and Tricentis NeoLoad based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools.
"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."
"This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."
"The solution is very stable."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"The reporting mechanism is a valuable feature that generates good reports."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"The most useful aspect of the solution is that it provides agents in different geographic locations."
"I recommend LoadRunner Professional as it supports many protocols and applications and is very easy to set up and use."
"LoadRunner Professional allowed us to load test potential new payroll solutions that would be implemented throughout the entire organization so that we knew which was best suited to performing well under pressure."
"What we like the most is that it integrates with UC."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"I feel that the codeless part, the dynamic value capture part is quite easy in NeoLoad compared to other tools."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."
"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."
"You should be able to use LoadRunner as a single platform. You should be able to have browser based access. You should be able to run enterprise tests."
"The solution needs to reduce its pricing. Right now, it's quite expensive."
"The monitoring technology in LoadRunner could be improved. It depends on another tool called SiteScope, but they only took a part of the features of SiteScope. They need to improve on that."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"The tool should consider releasing a SaaS version since it makes more sense nowadays."
"Improvement wise, the pipeline should be enabled. It should be embedded as part of the tool itself rather than going with third-party tools. Monitoring should be more effective as well."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"The technical support of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional could improve. I had an issue with the licensing and their response time is slow. They can improve on this in the future."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"The UI lacks sufficient object rendering."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing."
"The SAP area could be improved."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"It would be good to make some updates on the reporting side."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
