Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"It offers easy integration with third-party tools like Dynatrace, Splunk, etc."
"The user interface is fine."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting, correlations, and parameterization. Debugging is also easy."
"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 solution has a very nice interface."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"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."
"I like the cross browser compatibility. It saves a lot of time re-writing scripts to accommodate different browsers."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"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 solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"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 have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns."
"The artificial intelligence needs to 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."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"If that engine could better identify more XPaths automatically and make the process more flexible, that would be better."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"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."
