Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing."
"Helps us to reduce the workload to check the system."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."
"OATS provides the functionality to institute a corporate-wide standardized method and approach for all types of application testing."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to."
"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."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"This tool is easy to use and requires little code implementation thanks to many predefined areas."
"We are able to create load test scripts quickly in a fast paced environment, which in turn helps us identify performance issues."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"The reporting features are great."
 

Cons

"There is one piece of functionality that is currently not offered and would be very good to have: Support for Digital Certificates authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO)."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"However, they need to offer more protocol support."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"It needs to support SAP GUI-based applications, which forms 60-70% of our portfolio, as well as Windows (client install) and Citrix-based applications."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols. With NeoLoad, we can go for the SAP technology, web-based HTTP, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If I have to simulate .NET application-based traffic, I won't be able to do that. So, protocol support is a limitation for NeoLoad. It should support more protocols."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"The tool's pricing is somewhat higher than licensed tools like LoadRunner. The approximate cost is around $25,000. There are no additional charges for maintenance or support. Everything is included in the package we have."
"Licensing for NeoLoad is subscription-based."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."
"The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
