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

"Customer Service: Excellent and very personal."
"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'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'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 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."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"The pros outweigh the cons and so NeoLoad is highly recommended over its competitors."
"It’s very easy for a person without any performance testing experience to use."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"This tool is easy to use and requires little code implementation thanks to many predefined areas."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
 

Cons

"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"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."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"NeoLoad’s lack of support for a complete protocol suite is somewhat limiting."
"Since the ownership of NeoLoad has changed to Tricentis, they have done a very poor job with license management. They changed the license policy very abruptly."
"The bigger the project, the slower it opens in the tool (as expected) but many times can be excruciatingly slow."
"There were some features that were lacking in Tricentis NeoLoad, e.g. those were more into Citrix and other complicated protocols, which were supported easily by a competitor: Micro Focus LoadRunner. We also need to look into how it integrates with other Tricentis products, because Tricentis did not have a good performance testing tool until now."
"I haven't tried it, but I have heard that Citrix-based applications don't work properly in the SAP application."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"The weakest feature of most of the load test tools is result analysis."
 

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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
"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."
"The licensing for this solution is renewable yearly, and covers all available features and technical support."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"Its licensing cost is very less."
