Performance Architect at Kohl's
Has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase
NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage. NetStorm has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase. One more great functionality is the ability to control the load runtime by increasing or decreasing the virtual users or pausing the users to keep on repeating the transactions without exiting.

Senior Director Intelligent Automation at Truglobal
Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Pros

"NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage."
"Designs dynamic scripts and scenarios, as per our requirements, which is one the most important feature available in NetStorm. It helps us to do performance testing of our application in a periodic way."
"NetStorm had made Kohls.com very stable in the ATG platform as well as a cloud platform that Kohls didn't have any issues during the major holiday season like Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday."
"Over the past decade, the product team has continued working on improving and enhancing their tools."
"This tool helps to focus on real-time transactions that occur at a very high rate."
"Script designing and "free" network emulation are the most valuable features for us."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to."
"NeoLoad offers better reporting than most competing tools. It is effortless to analyze and measure the reported data. It's also simple to generate a report that most people can read and management can understand. NeoLoad helps you figure out the main issues inside the application."
"My company has a good experience with Tricentis NeoLoad, and what I like best about it is that it lets you generate loads from different geographies. The load generation agents getting placed on different geographies is a very good feature of the solution. I also like that you can scale up Tricentis NeoLoad very quickly. The general feedback on performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad for all product lines within my company is good."
"Compared to support at our previous product, they're more responsive and they're more knowledgeable."
"It provides easy mobile performance testing solution for our customers."
"I do like this tool, it's very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"It’s a very powerful tool which meets all our load and performance testing requirements, along with very sophisticated monitoring tools and reports."
 

Cons

"In the next release, we are looking for a JS instrumentation feature that would be helpful in identifying client-side issues at an early stage, or during testing."
"Need to add or support some more APIs in the Script Manager window."
"The user interface had to be improved for the product. Its user interface should be made simple and easy to customize as per user needs."
"NetStorm is a powerful tool but needs more information to be available on the Internet and Youtube on how to use it."
"If one person opens any script, another person won't be able to work on it simultaneously. If they can improve that feature, it would be helpful for everyone. I found that incorporating all the scripts into a single project was the challenging part. This is because we are working on different domains—I'm on one domain, and others are on another. We need to handle all these scripts cautiously."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its price, as it has a hefty price tag."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"We had some initial issues with the number of tests, memory leaks, and the controller itself."
"They usually answer between 36 and 48 hours for non-critical issues, and with critical issues they hold your hand."
"The bigger the project, the slower it opens in the tool (as expected) but many times can be excruciatingly slow."
"The protocol support area could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetStorm is priced well when compared to many well-known tools."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"The licensing for this solution is renewable yearly, and covers all available features and technical support."
"When compared to LoadRunner, NeoLoad has less costs. Compared to that, it's somehow affordable."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"Pricing for Tricentis NeoLoad could be cheaper because, at the moment, it's expensive. For a year, the solution cost us a lot of money, in particular, more than $50,000."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
