Centralized cloud testing has improved global load generation and real-time performance insights

The most valuable features I have found in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) are that everything is online and centralized, so I do not need to go anywhere to check the configuration and everything. OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud)'s advanced analytics help identify performance bottlenecks because whenever we are executing the test scripts, it shows a good analytics view where we can simply check which APIs are not performing well. The cloud-based load generators in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) have benefited my testing setup because we can generate the load across the globe, which was previously a little bit difficult on the on-premises version. The user interface in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) is intuitive and this will be easy to communicate and collaborate amongst the team also because sharing the online URL with the team, they can simply check the analysis and everything.

Senior Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options

OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer Service is immaculate."

"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."

"The ability to provision the load so it comes from multiple geographies across the world."

"HP StormRunner Load has provided us flexibility for on demand load generation, reduced overall TCO on our load testing efforts, and reduced the skill level to develop load test scripts."

"From end-to-end, starting from creating the load scenarios, to running them, and then reporting, LoadRunner is the best tool."

"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."

"Before LoadRunner, we weren't even testing performance and now we're performance testing."

"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

"They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products."

"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."

"It is a complete solution for mobile application testing."

"This is a solution that's easy to use and it also gives us the possibility to use real devices connected either on the Mobile Center server or on our own computers and it works with both iOS and Android devices."

"The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."

"We evaluated other mobile testing solutions and found this to be superior to all of them."

"We escalate tickets to HPE, and we don't have problems."

"The product is easy to use."

Cons

"Because it is a paid tool, its cost is very high."

"The cloud configuration setup and server access can be tricky, as we don't usually get direct access."

"In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."

"Monitoring and sample access to servers needs to be provided, so that we can explore this and keep up-to-date."

"The analysis feature in OpenText LoadRunner Cloud requires improvement. In-depth analysis tools found in the standalone LoadRunner analysis, such as graph merging and setting granularity, would be beneficial."

"The support team provides delayed responses."

"The initial setup is complex, but that is the nature of the technology."

"Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

"However, in some cases we discovered some issues for HPE support regarding the latest enhancements; the delivery time for these enhancements is not as fast as we would like."

"We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it."

"The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

"Deployment was an issue. Each time we set it up and deployed, it failed and we had to relaunch it again."

"I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them."

"It's very new to HP. They need to go beyond the HP world."

"Digital Lab is a pretty solid product with areas that could be continuously improved on."

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no monthly or yearly cost but rather, the fees are based on the amount of traffic that you use."

"The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."

"The solution is expensive."

"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."

"Pricing is dependent on what you're referring to. If you're talking about the cloud, it's likely competitive. However, if you're talking about the on-premise version, professional or enterprise licenses are required. Prices are on the high side. They are not cheap."

"LoadRunner always had expensive pricing. At my company, we used to evaluate LoadRunner, but we stuck with Silk Performer because its pricing was always better in the past. I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."

"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."

"It is neither costly nor cheap. It is not too high and not too low. I know the price of other tools, and LoadRunner Cloud's price is in the medium range."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pricing and cost advice

"The product could be more affordable."

"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."

"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
