Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The most valuable features of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional are scripting and executing the tests."
"The most important feature for us is that it supports a lot of protocols because we support all of them, including HTTP, FTP, mainframe, and others."
"It has good protocol coverage."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"I would rate Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional's stability at eight out of ten."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The ability to do multithreading. That's available in any performance testing tool, but the number of protocols that this particular tool supports has been very good."
"The solution is quite stable."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"LoadRunner experiences high resource utilization. Even though we have machines with higher configurations, I've observed this behavior. Heavy traffic recording results in the tool hanging. So heavy traffic recording makes the tool slow."
"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 recently just got to see LoadRunner Developer, but it is still not fully developed to use."
"The technical support of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional could improve. I had an issue with the licensing and their response time is slow. They can improve on this in the future."
"LoadRunner Professional's parameter data could be improved."
"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."
"Instead of having too many graphs and tabs, use the analysis section to get a more simplified defect analysis."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
