We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"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."
"We can measure metrics like hits per second and detect deviations or issues through graphs. We can filter out response times based on timings and identify spikes in the database or AWS reports."
"The solution offers helpful guidelines and has good documentation."
"We can book load generators."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"Probably its prime advantage, it provides a centralized location for testing."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It is very easy to maintain tests with this tool. It covers all necessary items in the test plan. The most painful item in testing is maintenance. When changes occur, the tests should be maintained."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"For such an experienced team as mine, who have been with the product for over ten years, sometimes working with technical support is not that easy."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise, I need to spend a lot of time training people, while on other low-code or no-code platforms, I need not invest that much time."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"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 the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
