Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"It is pretty easy to do test execution and results analysis. When it comes to scenario settings, LoadRunner Enterprise has an extra edge over other testing tools in the industry. The scenario setup is easy, and in terms of execution, we have a clear idea of what is happening"
"The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing."
"I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."
"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's a very powerful tool."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The product has many features."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"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."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The solution is great as a record and playback tool. It also has valuable regression testing."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"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."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"It would be good if we could look forward at the future technology needs we have. I would like to see Micro Focus provide more customer awareness around how LoadRunner can fulfill requirements with Big Data use cases, for example, where you do performance testing at the scale of data lakes... when it comes to technologies our company has yet to adopt, I would like to see an indication from Micro Focus of how one does performance testing and what kinds of challenges can we foresee. Those kinds of studies would really help us."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"The debugging feature needs to include graphs."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"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."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
