We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class.""We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does.""We find the solution stable and scalable."

"The product is good, and the concept is good as well.""For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable.""The most valuable aspect of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the overall support it has for a lot of different applications and defined domains.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications.""Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting.""The tool's most valuable features are scripting, correlations, and parameterization. Debugging is also easy.""Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users.""We have a centralized delivery team and we are able to meet enterprise requirements, which include different types of protocols that are involved, including scripting. The technology supports that and enables us to have a wider range of testing. Enterprise-level testing is something that we are satisfied with."

Cons
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs.""Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."

More Eggplant Performance Cons →

"It's not that popular on the cloud.""The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet.""The product's scalability must be improved.""It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems.""Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""Canned reports are always a challenge and a question with customers because customers want to see sexy reports.""We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
  • "The pricing is competitive in India."

  • "For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
  • "It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
  • "It is a bit expensive when compared with other tools."
  • "ROI is 200%."
  • "It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."
  • "The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
  • "They have a much more practical pricing model now."
  • "I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
