Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is mostly user-friendly and usable.""The product is good, and the concept is good as well.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise Is very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols.""The solution does support a wide range of technologies and protocols. Plus, two features, network virtualization, and service virtualization, are really helpful. Apart from that, the way they have their billing scenarios, like the execution, is very good.""One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this.""I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself.""IP Spoofing can be done using Performance Center."

"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years.""We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution.""The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP).""It offers a wide range of testing.""The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high.""It's simple to set up.""UFT has improved our ability to regression test.""Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."

Cons
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend.""The debugging feature needs to include graphs.""The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges.""I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues.""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.""I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected.""I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."

More OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise Cons →

"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients.""The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all.""The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script.""The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute.""One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement.""I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better.""The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
