Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"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 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."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"The reporting is very good in regard to scripting and debugging."
"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 solution is quite stable."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"Enables us to test most of the products and projects that we have across all the different technologies, without having to look at other tools."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"The front loader and the reporting features are the most valuable aspects of OpenText LoadRunner Professional."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"The dashboards give extensive statistics, which help with quick report preparation and analysis."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"My company has a good experience with Tricentis NeoLoad, and what I like best about it is that it lets you generate loads from different geographies. The load generation agents getting placed on different geographies is a very good feature of the solution. I also like that you can scale up Tricentis NeoLoad very quickly. The general feedback on performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad for all product lines within my company is good."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"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."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"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."
"In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"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."
"Their documentation is not technical enough for us. We would like to have much deeper technical documentation so that we can self-serve without constantly having to go back to them and ask."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
"I guess scalability becomes a problem when you use things like TruClients."
"Instead of having too many graphs and tabs, use the analysis section to get a more simplified defect analysis."
"The price of this solution should be cheaper."
"In terms of resource management, you need a lot of high capacity boxes if you need to generate a load of 1,000 or 2,000 users."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"The protocol support area could be improved."
"We would like to see the addition of one-to-one integrations with the Tricentis Tosca suite to this product, which would then cover the end-to-end needs of our customers who are looking for a single vendor solution."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"The solution’s pricing is higher compared to other tools. Though the product’s reports are accurate, it needs to be more detailed like other tools."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by introducing a secure testing feature."
