Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise Is very user-friendly."
"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."
"Support is nice, quick, and responsive."
"Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate."
"The solution offers helpful guidelines and has good documentation."
"It's a very powerful tool."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise supports a lot of technologies. The existing performance testing that this tool is capable of is good. The protocols that are available are widely varied when compared to other performance testing tools."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"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 most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"I think better support for cloud-based load generators would help. For example, integrate with Amazon AWS so you can quickly spin up a load generator in the cloud, use it, spin it down."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"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."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"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."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
