Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Load Testing Tools."A good monitoring tool, simple to script and easy to configure."
"What I found best in Tricentis NeoLoad is that it's better with scripting and load test execution in the load testing environment compared to its competitors. The tool has a better design, scenarios, and model, which I find helpful. I also found the Result Manager a fascinating part of Tricentis NeoLoad because of the way it collates results and presents reports. The straightforward implementation of Tricentis NeoLoad, including ease of use, is also valuable to my team."
"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."
"The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"If you have a large amount of data, the solution can struggle."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"Connecting with the solution's technical support can be time-consuming. The turnaround time for a ticket raised is around 72 hours, which becomes an issue when working on a huge project in our company."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the terminal emulation mainframe. It is not able to use the low code or no code option. You have to code it yourself."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"Some users may find NeoLoad too technical, while other users may prefer a scripting language instead of a UI with figures and forms they have to fill in."
