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.

Has enabled my team to identify bottlenecks effectively and deliver reliable performance analysis across projects
I have mentioned many advantages about this product, but to discuss disadvantages or areas that could be improved, I would need to consult with my engineers who are working on it. So far I have not heard of any significant issues. I can gather specific improvement suggestions from my architect and provide that information later.

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 and installation of the software were very easy and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create performance test cases quickly and then execute them. It provides a lot of powerful features to do that very efficiently and effectively."
"I appreciate its ability to handle various internal calls and its user-friendly interface."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"There are various languages that they allow those programs to be written in, whether you want to use Java or something else."
"LoadRunner is a very systematic tool for anyone to use. Even someone who is actually a first time user of LoadRunner can actually get a lot of benefit out of the tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"IBM WebSphere MQ testing can be a bit challenging. It can handle that, but I hope that they will build more and more capabilities. We do a huge amount of testing for messaging. Just like aviation, the railway industry is based on messaging. There is messaging to build trains and messaging to create some bills. There are many train movements. Everything involves messaging. I wish that it will be developed more for IBM WebSphere testing. Monitoring is okay, but for testing, I currently have to create Java users. I have to load a lot of libraries from IBM WebSphere and so on."
"The tool needs to work on capture script feature."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"We'd like the solution to be a bit more user-friendly."
"The tool should consider releasing a SaaS version since it makes more sense nowadays."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"The fee for LoadRunner Professional is very high - about US$500 per user."
"The solution's pricing is expensive."
"The pricing model and the software licensing model could be better."
"LoadRunner Professional's licensing costs are on the higher side, apart from the Community Edition."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise's pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing depends on our choices because it depends on what type of protocol we are getting, what type of licensing we are getting, and what kind of relationships we have with HP and Micro Focus."
