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 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."

"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."

"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."

"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud can scale in a cloud-based environment to support up to ten thousand concurrent users without capacity loss, which is not possible with on-premise solutions on personal machines."

"This software solution has allowed us to run larger, high concurrency performance testing cycles in a very repetitive manner…a requirement for validating our application solutions and supporting infrastructure for customer facing web apps."

"It's the license and structure because it's so dynamic."

"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."

"The most useful features of OpenText LoadRunner Cloud include getting load through the Performance Center, which is part of the cloud version, where we can monitor CPU and memory utilization, and response times."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

"The pricing is great."

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

"For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily."

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

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

"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."

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

Cons

"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."

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

"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."

"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."

"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."

"The product price could be more affordable."

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

"Its scripting features need improvement."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

"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."

"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."

"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."

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

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

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

"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."

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

More OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

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

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The product could be more affordable."
