Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"We can book load generators."
"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."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"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."
"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."
"IP Spoofing can be done using Performance Center."
"The product is good, and the concept is good as well."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"TestComplete is simple, it's a very easy-to-use tool."
"Selenium integration."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"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."
"Currently, when we try open LRE we encounter cookie banner issues. However, I'm not sure if it is within the enterprise solution or with the vendors."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface."
"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"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."
"Stability issues occurred only when connecting to the SourceSafe. Sometimes, after getting the latest version, the tool hangs and it should be reopened in order to recover."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"We were testing handheld barcode scanners running WindowsCE with many menus of warehouse functions, and our biggest problem was the timing between input and responses."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"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."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
