We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software.""The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations.""The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement.""The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them.""It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort.""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 product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool.""Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""The solution is scalable.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

Cons
"Improvements to the reporting would be good.""The product must provide agents to monitor servers.""The support team provides delayed responses.""In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together.""An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries.""It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate.""CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community.""Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""I would like to see better dashboards.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""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.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

  • "It is expensive compared to other tools."
  • "LoadRunner always had expensive pricing. At my company, we used to evaluate LoadRunner, but we stuck with Silk Performer because its pricing was always better in the past. I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."
