I would like to add three more pros that LoadRunner has. First pro is that LoadRunner supports many protocols, and running a multiple protocol script can be easily done. Second pro is that the monitoring and analysis interface provided is very user friendly and easy to grasp. Third pro is that LoadRunner can work on several enterprise environments, thus providing wide applicability. What I don't like is that LoadRunner is expensive, from my point of view, and it's complicated for beginners.
