"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."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"It is mostly user-friendly and usable."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"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."
"Probably its prime advantage, it provides a centralized location for testing."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."

"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"Selenium integration."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."

"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."
