User-friendly features facilitate monitoring while support could be more responsive

I am satisfied with OpenText LoadRunner Cloud as a product, but the ticket resolution time is concerning. The technical personnel are not able to fix issues quickly, which becomes problematic during critical situations. Compared to previous support, I notice that while experts previously resolved issues immediately, current experts take more time to resolve issues, which is the main challenge we are facing. They are now lacking regional support, which takes more time than it used to. My suggestions for improvements to OpenText LoadRunner Cloud would be to have specific experts available who can resolve issues more quickly, as delays can impact project timelines significantly.

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

"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."

"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."

"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."

"In comparison to other HP products, it was very user-friendly."

"Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software."

"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of money."

"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of of money."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

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

"The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization."

"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."

"The solution provides a controlled device farm with the right devices (selected based on analytics), that are readily available (can be reserved), have the right app and can be used for manual or automated tests."

"ROI is definitely present with OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web; these are very capable tools, and there is no reason ROI should be a challenge."

"The product is easy to use."

"There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps."

"The ease of use and being able to enroll more people into developing test scripts using their AI function, which they call AI but is OCR recognition, is significant."

More OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web pros

Cons

"We ran into some undocumented limits around the number of concurrent users."

"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."

"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."

"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."

"StormRunner is very rudimentary at this time, but it's a great concept."

"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."

"The support team provides delayed responses."

"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

"It's complex, and you need more skills than in most implementations."

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

"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."

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

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

"With versions prior to 2.0 I found that configuration was trickier than it should be, particularly with aspects such as NV."

"We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it."

"They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."

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

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

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

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

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

"The product could be more affordable."

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