Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is fine.""What I like most in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the comparison between two different exhibitions which gives value to my company. I also like that the solution is user-friendly, especially in terms of making specific changes. For example, in the past, you can't see the changes when you upload scripts into the Performance Center, but now, it has that visibility, so whenever you want, you can change the script in the Performance Center. I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting. The solution also has the latest features, for example, networkability, where it can, within the UI, follow the waterfall model. You can use the insights in the Performance Center of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise to address or test URLs that usually take up much time.""Support is nice, quick, and responsive.""I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself.""Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate.""The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing.""Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users.""What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."

"The function test feature is valuable.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

Cons
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet.""OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface.""Integration can be tricky during the setup process.""After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside.""It's not that popular on the cloud.""The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive.""I think better support for cloud-based load generators would help. For example, integrate with Amazon AWS so you can quickly spin up a load generator in the cloud, use it, spin it down.""The reporting has room for improvement."

More OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise Cons →

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers.""Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
