User-friendly, cheap, and quick to set up
It's actually quite easy to set it up. You can change your upgrade plan at any time. The pricing is reasonable. The support was also very good. They are great at helping you set it up. Overall, it's user-friendly. I like that you can also use different servers, which I used in Europe or in different contexts. The reporting is okay. I can get notifications via email, which is nice. Everything is immediate and in real-time.

Centralized cloud testing has improved global load generation and real-time performance insights
The most valuable features I have found in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) are that everything is online and centralized, so I do not need to go anywhere to check the configuration and everything. OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud)'s advanced analytics help identify performance bottlenecks because whenever we are executing the test scripts, it shows a good analytics view where we can simply check which APIs are not performing well. The cloud-based load generators in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) have benefited my testing setup because we can generate the load across the globe, which was previously a little bit difficult on the on-premises version. The user interface in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) is intuitive and this will be easy to communicate and collaborate amongst the team also because sharing the online URL with the team, they can simply check the analysis and everything.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The initial setup is easy, and if you need more help, they are there to assist."
"LoadView is a flexible solution, which protects your investments."
"LoadView is a perfect cloud-based load testing tool."
"The reason we chose it and the most valuable feature is the amount of virtual users we can run in a test; we have run up to 900,000 users."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud can scale in a cloud-based environment to support up to ten thousand concurrent users without capacity loss, which is not possible with on-premise solutions on personal machines."
"The fact that you don't have to worry about the infrastructure setup and that thousands of virtual users can log on to the cloud without having to set up provides a powerful, easy solution for new or existing customers."
"Before StormRunner Load, we didn’t have a clear developer roadmap, and now it’s very clear where we should invest, our weakest links, and what we need to do to strengthen weak links."
"I would rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud a ten out of ten for scalability."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"It is very easy to set up a load test, to start it and end it, and it is valuable that it is very easy to use."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
 

Cons

"If I do the web application test, I want to bypass a login part."
"A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet."
"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community."
"Improvements to the reporting would be good."
"StormRunner is very rudimentary at this time, but it's a great concept."
"I don't like their reporting."
"In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."
"We ran into some undocumented limits around the number of concurrent users."
"There are three modules in the system that are different products packaged into one, and they can sometimes be difficult to figure out, so they should be better integrated with each other."
"Because it is a paid tool, its cost is very high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is expensive compared to other tools."
"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."
"The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."
"LoadRunner always had expensive pricing. At my company, we used to evaluate LoadRunner, but we stuck with Silk Performer because its pricing was always better in the past. I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."
"The solution’s price is considerably high."
"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."
"There is no monthly or yearly cost but rather, the fees are based on the amount of traffic that you use."
