We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."We can book load generators."
"We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise Is very user-friendly."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."
"For me, LoadRunner stands out, especially with its reporting capabilities, the graphs that can be generated, and the unique feature of measuring our application's response alongside our infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, or disk usage, all presented in graph form. This is something other applications struggle to match."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"It is a strong automation tool for desktop, browser, and API testing."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise, I need to spend a lot of time training people, while on other low-code or no-code platforms, I need not invest that much time."
"The solution is expensive."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."
"It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"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."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
