Tricentis NeoLoad Reviews

Wasted time in low-end work (scripting) is greatly reduced with NeoLoad. It enables my team to record and modify test scripts very quickly. This reduces the effort for testing and enables the team to do more high-value work like analysis of results. We use external data analytics tools (Tableau) for result analysis. The export raw data feature in NeoLoad provides the extension with Tableau.

Performance testing is done by testing frameworks in which NeoLoad is the driver of load. The ability to extend the tool is crucial for organisations. Our test framework is composed out of NeoLoad as a centralised component surrounded by Tableau for analytics and AppDynamics for deep-dive diagnostics. This load test framework enables the team to more quickly test, find and resolve issues and system bottlenecks.

The weakest feature of most of the load test tools is result analysis. It is important we can customise graphs to visualise results in such a way that stakeholders can understand the outcome of testing. To be able to visualise results better, we extended NeoLoad with Tableau Software.

With Tableau, you can centralize performance related data in a database. Data can come from any tool, from log files or RUM tools and system utilities. Tableau provides you with the ability to connect to any data source, analyse patters and find bottlenecks more easily.  NeoLoad has made huge improvements over the last few years and finally has the ability to view the raw data (and not only aggregated results). This is fundamental for any type of performance engineering.  Aggregated results hide bottlenecks. 

Customer support is very good.

The price of the tool is competitive.

The features introduced in the recently released new version of NeoLoad fit really well into the DevOps way of working, further reducing the time for rescripting. This enables rapid delivery and lean ways of working.

It gives us the ability to quickly create a script.

We are able to create load test scripts quickly in a fast paced environment, which in turn helps us identify performance issues.

The support needs to be improved, especially when you are looking for a quick turnaround because of the fast-paced environment we work in.

We've used it for five years.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It's rare, but sometimes the application will shut down.

We've had no issues with scalability. You just have to add additional hardware as you increase the number of users.

8/10.

We have a very good partnership. They are always willing to work with us and help resolve any issues or concerns we have. They keep us updated on new releases and features that will be delivered.

7/10.

We previously used HP LoadRunner, but it was not easy to create scripts for a flex application.

The initial setup was very easy.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

As you add more protocols and monitoring it does get expensive.

We looked at HP LoadRunner, SmartBear LoadComplete, and Appvance.

It is very easy to implement and you can start using it fairly quickly.

There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis.

Implementing this product has allowed us to increase the number of projects that get load testing, and the frequency by which we re-test our performance.

It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be.

We've used it for seven years.

We haven't had any issues with deployment.

We have never experienced any isuses with stability.

The product has scaled very well up until this point.

The support from Neotys is very good. Responses are timely and come from experienced, knowledgeable load testing professionals.

We previously, and still use JMeter for some projects, in addition to Neoload.

The initial setup is straightforward for basic usage. The setup for higher volume load testing is more involved, but I wouldn't say complex, as should be expected for an enterprise class load testing tool.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

It's priced based on the numbers of VUs, virtual users, that your needs require. The free edition gives you 50 VUs. The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing. Cloud VUs can be rented on-demand for bursts of higher capacity testing needs without permanent purchase.

We looked at JMeter and Webload.

I highly recommend understanding load testing concepts before using any automation tool.

It is convenient to be able to keep up the pace in which the application code was delivered to us. Since we manage nearly 500-600 applications and we need to make sure they are tested, we wanted something robust with an option to check against previous baselines with minimal human intervention without sacrificing criteria.

We wanted something with less risk when incorporating or shifting scripts.

The fact that it loads from an external cloud is a plus as well.

It took just a few minutes to set up Neotys Cloud, as opposed to a few days with other solutions.

They are coming out soon with NeoSense. It's a hybrid between app management tools and a testing tool. This will be helpful for us because we'll be able to monitor applications within various different environments. This is precisely what we have wanted.

We've been using it for a year.

We had no issues with deployment.

We used to have only 50 online users. Later we moved to where we are.

We have used their gold support option. Yes, we have been happy. They usually answer between 36 and 48 hours for non-critical issues, and with critical issues they hold your hand.

We did it in-house.

We didn't negotiate the price. To give perspective, we went from spending three million dollars to 160 thousand dollars, which is a huge saving and good value.

One of our goals was to find a platform that would have the functionalities that we were used to while incorporating in other ones. ProLoad was a competitor, and one other (can't make out name).

We wanted it to support agile and devops, while being able to upgrade to a number of releases over the course of a day, so it was a fit.

The company really strives on experience, always making sure that I as a customer am happy. For example, my team at Dell had an issue with our new version, which we had just updated to. Another team used a different version which required different protocols, and there were discrepancies between the versions. The company found out that our errors were user errors, and helped us fix the problem.

I helped them in terms of product development since we at Dell told them requirements and they added that to product life cycles. So we are a customer, but told them some requirements we'd like to see.

We use Tricentis NeoLoad for performance testing purposes, like load testing and stress testing.

Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter. The other valuable features of Tricentis NeoLoad include correlation, parameterization, load testing, and file parsing.

Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts. Tricentis needs to improve in this area, and the solution should run smoothly even if thousands of scripts are imported into it.

I have been using Tricentis NeoLoad for one and a half years.

I rate Tricentis NeoLoad a nine out of ten for stability.

Around 10 to 12 users are using Tricentis NeoLoad in our organization.

I rate Tricentis NeoLoad an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup was easy.

Tricentis NeoLoad can be installed in ten minutes.

Tricentis NeoLoad is not an expensive solution, but it can be quite expensive if we need a license for load testing, depending on the organization level.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten.

I would recommend Tricentis NeoLoad to other users.

Overall, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad a nine out of ten.

Used for performance testing of applications on QA environments as well as production environments. NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution.

It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty.

• Integration of all components in one place.
• GUI-based requests
• Ease of use compared with other performance tools.

NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications. Neotys should take a look into this protocol.

No issues.

No issues. As far as Neotys NeoLoad, it is excellent in scalability.

The support is good. 

We started with NeoLoad.

The initial setup is easy.

The implementation was done in-house.

Our ROI is 100%.

The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools.

We tried JMeter, but due to its support (which we found subpar), we had to switch to NeoLoad.

You will love NeoLoad moving from open source and code-based performance tools.

All-in-one product (design, runtime, results), easy scripting and variable correlation, and load generators deployed all around the world to simulate global traffic.

It is easier to do load tests using NeoLoad.

The only improvement that I wanted is support for load tests in agile mode. Neoload 5.2 makes this possible by updating the old versions of scripts with data from the new HTTP requests.

I have 4 years of experience.

The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. The link is sometimes cut between the controller and the load generators.

10/10. Support is available, they handle issues very quickly, and they are very skillful.

I used HPE LoadRunner. I think that NeoLoad is more user-friendly.

NeoLoad is easy to deploy using the install wizard.

Well, first I got trained by a vendor team. After that, I implemented more projects using NeoLoad.

My advice is that there should be a minimum of 4GB of memory on the servers on which you are installing NeoLoad.

Neotys provides a free evaluation licence to use NeoLoad with up to 50 virtual users and all protocols included.

The product licence remains cheaper than HP LoadRunner, for example.

It makes it easy to create load tests. We used HP LoadRunner previously, and this is far better.

It's provided a faster turnaround on load-testing creation and the ability to use the team servers so multiple people can use this at once, which we couldn't do before.

It would be nice if this could be cheaper.

I've used it for one-and-a-half years.

It's been 100% stable, which we are very happy about.

Some of the additional modules can be pricey, but it is scalable.

Compared to support at our previous product, they're more responsive and they're more knowledgeable. Overall, it's three times better than our previous solution.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

We looked at JMeter, but NeoLoad had what we needed. We were using LoadRunner for six years and then we replaced it with NeoLoad.

Everyone's needs are a little bit different, so make sure you do a good POC.
