Valuable features such as reporting capabilities and the ability to execute tests. Initial setup was complex.
What is most valuable?
The features I feel were most valuable were the reporting capabilities, the scheduling, and the ability to execute tests from anywhere.
How has it helped my organization?
Before upgrading to Performance Center the team was required to be at the controller location, and reporting needed to be extracted then presented.
What needs improvement?
I’d like to see the scheduling feature extended to more of an infrastructure management tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
5 Years
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
None
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Yes, though I believe these were caused by our infrastructure implementation and not the product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
None
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service: Excellent!Technical Support: Proficient
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were previously using HP’s LoadRunner product. We switched because we were centralizing the function and needed a more robust product.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was complex, but we were helped every step of the way by our NRCE (Named Response Center Engineer).
What about the implementation team?
We used HP resources NRCE. They performed expertly.
