"It is a good and stable tool."
"The most important feature for us is that it supports a lot of protocols because we support all of them, including HTTP, FTP, mainframe, and others."

"We'd like the solution to be a bit more user-friendly."
"We are going to continue to use the product in the future, I recommend this product. However, those who are looking for only REST-based on the API, I would recommend some other tool because of the cost. There are others available on the market."
"In terms of resource management, you need a lot of high capacity boxes if you need to generate a load of 1,000 or 2,000 users."

"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The initial start-up of Micro Focus LoadRunner could be improved. When we add 20 or 30 scripts, the refresh is completed one by one. I would like to be able to select all the script at one time, so it can be completed in a single click, reducing the time required."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
