We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want.""The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool.""The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them.""The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center.""The fact that the solution supports multiple protocols such as open source, VuGen, TruWeb, TruClient, and SAP is very important because these protocols help us to concentrate on what is really needed to produce performance tests. If something is not supported, you have to use other tools or find other ways of assimilating loads.""Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software.""Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore.""The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied.""The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution.""Object Identification Wizard.""What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools.""The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to.""I am impressed with the product's script test.""Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel.""It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."

Cons
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check.""Their documentation is not technical enough for us. We would like to have much deeper technical documentation so that we can self-serve without constantly having to go back to them and ask.""An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries.""Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator.""The product must provide agents to monitor servers.""Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud.""One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing.""In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."

More OpenText LoadRunner Cloud Cons →

"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars.""Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response.""Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution.""You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others.""The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations.""I would like to see better integration with other testing tools.""The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market.""I would like a better user interface."

I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."
