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 solution can scale."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"I would rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud a ten out of ten for scalability."

"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."

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

"The record and playback feature is the most valuable feature. It's all driven by the script, so it's a script-based tool where the background tracing starts. Java's background process does a lot of tracing. The process starts in the background. It sees what peaks of volumes that the process can handle. It's easy to use because it's script based, record, and playback. I"

"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."

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

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) pros

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

"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."

"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."

"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."

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

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

"The product is easy to use."

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

More OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web pros

Cons

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

"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."

"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."

"I have faced several problems using the cloud in different locations, so I rate the stability a six out of ten."

"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."

"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."

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

"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."

More OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) cons

"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."

"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s price is considerably high."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

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

"The product could be more affordable."
