Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."You can test a huge variety of applications, not just web-based systems, but SAP, Oracle, web services, pretty much anything out in the market place, but it's mobile-based testing."
"We can book load generators."
"This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"It allows you to work out how well you are doing project-wise because you see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, and whether you have mapped all your requirements to it."
"The most valuable aspect of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the overall support it has for a lot of different applications and defined domains."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The product is stable for what we are currently using it for, and it is sufficient for us."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"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."
"OpenText needs to improve in terms of support. With the same support plan but when the product was owned by HP, support was more responsive and better coordinated."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"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 solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"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."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
