Need improvements ,but has cloud and on-premises options
The solution is not in an optimal state. During POC, we analyzed tool is kept on upgrading. The patch deployment is happening in parallel, things that are working today are not working tomorrow. We eventually sorted it out with help of CSM. We integrated this tool with other software such as Azure client, but many times without a valid or visible reason, the connectivity was breaking. Improvement suggestions- The dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier. Currently, the solution does not support multiple script executions and we would like to see support for this.

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

"Their technical support is awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"The licensing model is very flexible which supports a broad range of budgets, from small projects to enterprise-level setups."
"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."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"I particularly like Neoload’s ease of use, built in monitoring and their extensive library of wireless devices and protocols."
"The solution is a UI-based tool, so it's easy to use because we don't have to do actual recording with it. This makes it easier to use, and, in terms of speed, it's a bit faster than other tools when it comes to scripting."
"We are able to use NeoLoad to quickly expand performance testing to all critical business applications and address some key performance issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to."
 

Cons

"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The solution lacks a little bit in the reporting features."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
"At times we have had issues with load generator agent stability, but tuning the heap and documented network hacks greatly reduced this."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"NeoLoad’s lack of support for a complete protocol suite is somewhat limiting."
"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."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
"The debugging part of Tricentis NeoLoad takes time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"The tool is not cheap."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"Licensing for NeoLoad is subscription-based."
"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."
"We used a 60-day trial with ten hours of work per month."
"Pricing for Tricentis NeoLoad could be cheaper because, at the moment, it's expensive. For a year, the solution cost us a lot of money, in particular, more than $50,000."
"Licence cost is very attractive compared to other vendor tools and also there are many license alternatives."
