We even do video streams."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"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."
"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"The usability and ability to integrate with other solutions is quite good. When I use it in on Azure, then Red Hat is the most likely solution I use. When I use AWS, then I tend to use Lambda functions. In either case, it works well and you can use it either way."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"The most valuable features of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional are scripting and executing the tests."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"Very useful for finding out how the system responds to load, stress, and normal situations, as well as benchmarking with other industry competitors. It also improved our response time, memory delegation, and CPU delegation. In addition, we used LoadRunner to optimize our database and website."
"The most useful aspect of the solution is that it provides agents in different geographic locations."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The load testing, reporting, and scripting features are all valuable features."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"I like LoadRunner's ability to use multiple protocols. That's one of the greatest features along with the ability to test service calls between the app and server."
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"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."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"The product must provide agents to monitor servers."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"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."
"There should be more integration with more open-source platforms."
"Instead of having too many graphs and tabs, use the analysis section to get a more simplified defect analysis."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"Support for Microsoft Dynamics needs improvement."
"Compared to some other vendors, there is a lack of community support."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
