For example, I can use Java. I can use C++. I can test the Internet of Things, FTP, mail, and Active Directory. It is very useful."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"It is actually a very good tool because it will support almost all, if not all, industry-standard protocols, and it is also equipped with very nice reporting capabilities, which is why I like it."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"The load testing, reporting, and scripting features are all valuable features."
"The most important feature for us is that it supports a lot of protocols because we support all of them, including HTTP, FTP, mainframe, and others."
"The most useful aspect of the solution is that it provides agents in different geographic locations."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"Support for Microsoft Dynamics needs improvement."
"The initial start-up of Micro Focus LoadRunner could be improved. When we add 20 or 30 scripts, the refresh is completed one by one. I would like to be able to select all the script at one time, so it can be completed in a single click, reducing the time required."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"If the support of the protocols was the same throughout the other protocols and it was there evenly, then I would rate the product higher."
"The flexibility could be improved."
"Micro Focus has two separate products for web and mobile applications, which means you have to invest in both."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
