Helps with load and stress testing but doesn't support some mainframe protocols
We initially used LoadRunner Enterprise on a project basis. However, it exceeded our expectations, and we bought a small number of licenses.

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
  • "It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
  • "It is a bit expensive when compared with other tools."
  • "ROI is 200%."
  • "It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."
  • "The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
  • "They have a much more practical pricing model now."
  • "I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
