"The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web."
"My company has a good experience with Tricentis NeoLoad, and what I like best about it is that it lets you generate loads from different geographies. The load generation agents getting placed on different geographies is a very good feature of the solution. I also like that you can scale up Tricentis NeoLoad very quickly. The general feedback on performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad for all product lines within my company is good."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the terminal emulation mainframe. It is not able to use the low code or no code option. You have to code it yourself."
"Some users may find NeoLoad too technical, while other users may prefer a scripting language instead of a UI with figures and forms they have to fill in."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
