"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The product has many features."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"TestComplete has strong reporting capabilities. The reports they generate are really good."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"NeoLoad is actually really good, mainly because they have a world-class support service."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"Error handling features in the tool are a little limited."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"Some users may find NeoLoad too technical, while other users may prefer a scripting language instead of a UI with figures and forms they have to fill in."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"There were some features that were lacking in Tricentis NeoLoad, e.g. those were more into Citrix and other complicated protocols, which were supported easily by a competitor: Micro Focus LoadRunner. We also need to look into how it integrates with other Tricentis products, because Tricentis did not have a good performance testing tool until now."
