Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"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."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"It's a very powerful tool."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"The most valuable aspect of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the overall support it has for a lot of different applications and defined domains."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"Selenium integration."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is regression testing tools."
"They had wanted to change the GUI to improve the look and feel. However, since that time, we see a lot of hanging issues."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
"I know there are integrations with continuous testing. It's got tie-ins to some of the newer tools to allow continuous testing. I'd love to see us not have to customize it, but for it to be out of the box."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
