Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Test Automation Tools."The product has many features."
"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"Selenium integration."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"With the tool, it is possible to compare NeoLoad test results against baseline and benchmark, and we can make the comparisons in the same window."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"The most effective aspect is especially when I'm renaming all the scripting factors, basically the containers that I use."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"I feel that the codeless part, the dynamic value capture part is quite easy in NeoLoad compared to other tools."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"The integration tools could be better."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"In scenarios where two of our engineers work on the same task, merging codes is a bit difficult."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"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."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"There is room for improvement with the support and community documentation as it can be difficult to find answers to questions quickly."
"Connecting with the solution's technical support can be time-consuming. The turnaround time for a ticket raised is around 72 hours, which becomes an issue when working on a huge project in our company."
"The UI lacks sufficient object rendering."
"The product is expensive."
