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

"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to."
"This tool goes one step further with easy integration with code analysis tools, server monitoring, the success of correlation studio and the advantages on the mobile side."
"Wasted time in low-end work (scripting) is greatly reduced with NeoLoad."
"I particularly like Neoload’s ease of use, built in monitoring and their extensive library of wireless devices and protocols."
"The licensing cost is very less for NeoLoad. It is user-friendly and easy to understand because they have created so many useful functionalities. When I started working with this tool, we just had to do the initial assessment about whether this tool will be able to support our daily work or not. I could easily understand it. I didn't have to search Google or watch YouTube videos. In just 15 to 20 minutes, I was able to understand the tool."
"The dashboards give extensive statistics, which help with quick report preparation and analysis."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
 

Cons

"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."
"I would like to see better dashboards."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"OTM Test Report – We needed to develop custom reports as there is less flexibility."
"The ability to show transactions per second during the test run is missing; currently, we have to eyeball the TPS using the graph."
"It wasn't easy to learn how to use NeoLoad and it has a bit of a learning curve."
"However, they need to offer more protocol support."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"The price could be more friendly, and it was impossible to continue using the same version of Tricentis NeoLoad, as we were forced to move to the next version. Sometimes there were compatibility problems, and that was a major problem with backward compatibility issues."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"We purchased a two-year license but broke the contract after 18 months."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
