Featured Reviews

Raghvendra Jyothi - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Project Management at Capgemini
Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.
AnantJoshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director Intelligent Automation at Truglobal
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

"The object repository is the most valuable feature, as different elements can be identified and reutilized through the repository across other scripts, and the product has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"When you compare this with LoadRunner, LoadRunner is the best tool as it, number one, is very user-friendly when compared with the NeoLoad."
"We are able to create load test scripts quickly in a fast paced environment, which in turn helps us identify performance issues."
"NeoLoad helped us to transition from load testing to continuous performance measurement."
"The best features of this tool, which I value the most in Tricentis NeoLoad, are the convenient predefined set of metrics for different platforms, and it was most easy to set up and start running."
"Customer support is excellent, with a very quick turn around time for any question asked."
"It provides easy mobile performance testing solution for our customers."
"It's a low-code testing tool"
"The most valuable feature that we've found useful is that NeoLoad provides a variety of bandwidths."
 

Cons

"The first time I customized the solution, it was quite challenging."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"We have not seen a return on investment yet."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
"Almost everything about NewLoad looks good, but I would like to have an indication of the variables for error messages appearing in the error tab."
"We purchased a two-year license but broke the contract after 18 months."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"Team Server - Neotys Team Server - This currently stores project data on the local drive. I suggest having Neotys Team Server Data stored on an actual server."
"The weakest feature of most of the load test tools is result analysis."
"There were some features that were lacking in Tricentis NeoLoad, e.g. those were more into Citrix and other complicated protocols, which were supported easily by a competitor: Micro Focus LoadRunner. We also need to look into how it integrates with other Tricentis products, because Tricentis did not have a good performance testing tool until now."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We used a 60-day trial with ten hours of work per month."
"Licence cost is very attractive compared to other vendor tools and also there are many license alternatives."
"The vendor offers flexible licensing options"
"I don't have information on the licensing cost of Tricentis NeoLoad because my manager handles that. From a testing perspective and based on company requirements, the current license is for one thousand users."
"The tool is not cheap."
"NeoLoad is cheaper compared to other solutions. There are no additional licensing fees."
"I'd rate it a seven out of ten in terms of pricing"
"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."
