Performance Test Analyst at Sensata Technologies

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.

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

"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 solution has been quite good and integrates well with other products."

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

"I rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud ten out of ten."

"StormRunner does the job in a very simple and cost effective way."

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

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

"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

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

"The product is easy to use."

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

"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."

"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 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."

"The main benefit is that you can get a very quick idea regarding the performance of your application, and it also helps you discover hidden pain points that you would not have found without using this tool."

"Using the existing enterprise tools, like UFT, or even if you want to go open source, you can use them and it's a real user-functional performance, we are able to achieve that."

Cons

"Improvements to the reporting would be good."

"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."

"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert."

"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."

"The product price could be more affordable."

"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."

"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."

"At this time, Micro Focus is handling the support, which is kind of messy compared to going directly to HP."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

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

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

"I rate OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web an eight out of ten because while it is a strong productivity tool, it should have more mature governance and deeper reporting features to improve upon."

"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."

"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."

"I don't think the product as it is right now is going to sell itself, but it's really what are the next steps."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

"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 is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."

"It's a very expensive solution"

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

"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."

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."
