AVP - Testing & QA at Laminaar Aviation
Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability
Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used. Secondly, we have a very limited resource pool that uses this tool in India. So, finding resources familiar with Eggplant in India is challenging due to lack of affiliation programs and so on.
AnantJoshi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's been a revelation to us in terms of its ability to assist us in exploratory testing and to integrate with our current model-driven architecture."
"We've been really fortunate in that we've had virtually zero downtime in all the time we've been using Eggplant."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"Customer Service: Excellent and very personal."
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"With the tool, it is possible to compare NeoLoad test results against baseline and benchmark, and we can make the comparisons in the same window."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"The pros outweigh the cons and so NeoLoad is highly recommended over its competitors."
"I can recommend Tricentis NeoLoad as an alternative tool when the part of Microsoft, especially if one does not have the budget ready to go for the others."
"The reporting features are great."
"To give perspective, we went from spending three million dollars to 160 thousand dollars, which is a huge saving and good value."
"NeoLoad is more user-friendly than HPE LoadRunner."
"NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service."
 

Cons

"One area I can think of to improve is the usability of the reports that we get."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"Bugs occur fairly frequently, but they are very responsive in identifying them and scheduling them for fixes in future releases."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"The debugging part of Tricentis NeoLoad takes time."
"I also ran into installation issues with NeoLoad when the installation never completed."
"The SAP area could be improved."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive in India."
"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
"The tool's pricing is somewhat higher than licensed tools like LoadRunner. The approximate cost is around $25,000. There are no additional charges for maintenance or support. Everything is included in the package we have."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
"I don't have information on the licensing cost of Tricentis NeoLoad because my manager handles that. From a testing perspective and based on company requirements, the current license is for one thousand users."
"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."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
"NeoLoad is cheaper compared to other solutions. There are no additional licensing fees."
"The licensing for this solution is renewable yearly, and covers all available features and technical support."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
