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.

Positive experience with seamless setup and responsive support but pricing and version compatibility need improvement
I'm not ready to share what areas of Tricentis NeoLoad have room for improvement now. The price could be more friendly, and it was impossible to continue using the same version of Tricentis NeoLoad, as we were forced to move to the next version. Sometimes there were compatibility problems, and that was a major problem with backward compatibility issues.

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."
"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."
"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."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"Script designing and "free" network emulation are the most valuable features for us."
"The GUI based scripting is a huge time saver for us since we don’t have a dedicated performance team yet, as I can create scripts quickly and get tests going."
"I do like this tool, it's very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"When you compare this with LoadRunner, LoadRunner is the best tool as it, number one, is very user-friendly when compared with the NeoLoad."
"NeoLoad is very user friendly and works well with HTTP and REST API’s, is very effective during cloud based testing, and the cost is a fraction of LoadRunner."
"It is a bit easier compared to our LoadRunner, and it is cheaper."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"Learning-wise, it's pretty straightforward and flexible because if the person has little knowledge of performance testing and the process, they can definitely easily grab the knowledge from NeoLoad."
 

Cons

"One area I can think of to improve is the usability of the reports that we get."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"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."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
"It would be nice if this could be cheaper."
"The documentation for the new JMS protocol is in its initial stages and Neotys needs to update their online support documentation with more information about it."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases."
"The support needs to be improved, especially when you are looking for a quick turnaround because of the fast-paced environment we work in."
"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."
"The ability to show transactions per second during the test run is missing; currently, we have to eyeball the TPS using the graph."
"We would like NeoLoad to be able to support more protocols. Testing can also be a little tricky at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is competitive in India."
"The tool is not cheap."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
"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."
"Licensing for NeoLoad is subscription-based."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
"NeoLoad is cheaper compared to other solutions. There are no additional licensing fees."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Licence cost is very attractive compared to other vendor tools and also there are many license alternatives."
