Solutions Architect ICT at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees
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 is easy, and if you need more help, they are there to assist."
"LoadView is a perfect cloud-based load testing tool."
"LoadView is a flexible solution, which protects your investments."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"The reporting is very good in regard to scripting and debugging."
"LoadRunner is the standard choice for performance testing before any critical applications are allowed to go live, preventing any performance issues."
"I'm really happy with what they’re giving me for what I do, but because I don't do performance monitoring or performance testing using LoadRunner, I'm not completely aware of everything else, but for what I do it's a great tool for me."
"I think it's been the backbone of performance testing for 20+ years and must be given credit for helping establish the discipline."
"The solution is quite stable."
"This solution has helped us to eliminate software performance risk before going live."
"The most important feature for us is that it supports a lot of protocols because we support all of them, including HTTP, FTP, mainframe, and others."
 

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."
"Lacks specific level monitoring."
"I think it needs to have better reporting."
"If the support of the protocols was the same throughout the other protocols and it was there evenly, then I would rate the product higher."
"We are going to continue to use the product in the future, I recommend this product. However, those who are looking for only REST-based on the API, I would recommend some other tool because of the cost. There are others available on the market."
"LoadRunner Professional is an expensive product."
"Sometimes, we aren't able to see an accurate page view while replying and executing the script. When you are navigating the application side by side, it needs to be displayed on a random viewer. Sometimes we will get a few applications, and we won't get others."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The solution uses a lot of memory and then it dies. It's difficult to work with the solution sometimes when you run a scenario it dies. They need to make the solution lighter somehow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
"There is an annual license required to use Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional. There are not any additional costs other than the licensing fees to use it."
"The price is a bit on the high side, but it is still affordable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is a high price, I rate the solution a five."
"It is reasonable. We pay the cost, but we have everything. We have a big set of licenses for SAP and other applications. We have all kinds of licenses."
"It is competing with other products that may cost significantly less or may be available as open-source. Because of that it is relatively expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and is relatively expensive."
"LoadRunner Professional's licensing costs are on the higher side, apart from the Community Edition."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise's pricing is reasonable."
