We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud and Tricentis NeoLoad 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 TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"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 is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis NeoLoad for us has been its ability to easily monitor all the load generators and configure the dynamics and data rates. Additionally, we can monitor individual loads and data directly within NeoLoad without needing third-party tools."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"Learning-wise, it's pretty straightforward and flexible because if the person has little knowledge of performance testing and the process, they can definitely easily grab the knowledge from NeoLoad."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"There are three modules in the system that are different products packaged into one, and they can sometimes be difficult to figure out, so they should be better integrated with each other."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."
"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"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."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its price, as it has a hefty price tag."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"We would like to see the addition of one-to-one integrations with the Tricentis Tosca suite to this product, which would then cover the end-to-end needs of our customers who are looking for a single vendor solution."
