We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud and SmartBear LoadNinja based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"SmartBear LoadNinja is easy to use and implement."
"We are happy with the technical support."
"It's a very simple tool for performance testing."
"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."
"Improvements to the reporting would be good."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"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."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"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."
"It needs time to mature."
"On a smaller scale, there will be no budget issues, but as we expand to a larger user base, I believe we will face some pricing challenges."
"As we ran the test, we couldn't see the real-time results of how the solution behaved for 200 to 400 virtual users."
