We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud and OpenText LoadRunner Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
