Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."What I like most in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the comparison between two different exhibitions which gives value to my company. I also like that the solution is user-friendly, especially in terms of making specific changes. For example, in the past, you can't see the changes when you upload scripts into the Performance Center, but now, it has that visibility, so whenever you want, you can change the script in the Performance Center. I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting. The solution also has the latest features, for example, networkability, where it can, within the UI, follow the waterfall model. You can use the insights in the Performance Center of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise to address or test URLs that usually take up much time."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this."
"It is mostly user-friendly and usable."
"We are delivering fine performance results and performance recommendations using Performance Center."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
