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."LoadRunner is a very systematic tool for anyone to use. Even someone who is actually a first time user of LoadRunner can actually get a lot of benefit out of the tool."
"It provides clients with an understanding of application and system performance."
"The most valuable features of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional are scripting and executing the tests."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"The reporting is very good in regard to scripting and debugging."
"I think that analytics is very good and that the analytics features are very powerful."
"Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."
"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team."
"Technical support is great."
"The only scenario we see a complexity is when we have single-page applications where JavaScript is talking to the server and coming back. That's the only scenario where we find some difficulties."
"There should be more integration with more open-source platforms."
"The solution lacks some form of integration."
"In terms of improvement, it lacks mobile testing features present in some competitors, like GitMatters, which I find valuable."
"There is room for improvement of the pilot processing, the dump analysis, and forwarding results based on the dump analysis. We have a generator, root controller, different agents, and an analyzer, so all of these are very important when it comes to LoadRunner."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"The reporting and GUI have room for improvement."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
"Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."
"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features."
"We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection."
