Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."It is a good and stable tool."
"I like the user interface. I like the way we can divide our scenarios and can tune them. The integration with the quality center is great. These features are really good."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"The most useful aspect of the solution is that it provides agents in different geographic locations."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"There are various languages that they allow those programs to be written in, whether you want to use Java or something else."
"What we like the most is that it integrates with UC."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"The solution is scalable."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The solution lacks some form of integration."
"You should be able to use LoadRunner as a single platform. You should be able to have browser based access. You should be able to run enterprise tests."
"IBM WebSphere MQ testing can be a bit challenging. It can handle that, but I hope that they will build more and more capabilities. We do a huge amount of testing for messaging. Just like aviation, the railway industry is based on messaging. There is messaging to build trains and messaging to create some bills. There are many train movements. Everything involves messaging. I wish that it will be developed more for IBM WebSphere testing. Monitoring is okay, but for testing, I currently have to create Java users. I have to load a lot of libraries from IBM WebSphere and so on."
"There should be more integration with more open-source platforms."
"I would like to see better-licensing costs."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
