We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise 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 most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"The most valuable part of the product is the way you can scale the basic testing easily."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"Creating the script is very easy and user friendly."
"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."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise supports a lot of technologies. The existing performance testing that this tool is capable of is good. The protocols that are available are widely varied when compared to other performance testing tools."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"NeoLoad offers better reporting than most competing tools. It is effortless to analyze and measure the reported data. It's also simple to generate a report that most people can read and management can understand. NeoLoad helps you figure out the main issues inside the application."
"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."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"They need to focus on minimizing the cost."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."
"It would be good if we could look forward at the future technology needs we have. I would like to see Micro Focus provide more customer awareness around how LoadRunner can fulfill requirements with Big Data use cases, for example, where you do performance testing at the scale of data lakes... when it comes to technologies our company has yet to adopt, I would like to see an indication from Micro Focus of how one does performance testing and what kinds of challenges can we foresee. Those kinds of studies would really help us."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols. With NeoLoad, we can go for the SAP technology, web-based HTTP, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If I have to simulate .NET application-based traffic, I won't be able to do that. So, protocol support is a limitation for NeoLoad. It should support more protocols."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"The SAP area could be improved."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"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."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"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."
