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."

"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."

"The solution is expensive."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."

"In the cross-browser domain, it has a few snags with Microsoft Edge and Chrome; although, these problems are not critical."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
