We performed a comparison between Akamai CloudTest, OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise, and Tricentis NeoLoad based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."
"This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"The solution is very stable."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done."
"We can book load generators."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The user interface is fine."
"For me, LoadRunner stands out, especially with its reporting capabilities, the graphs that can be generated, and the unique feature of measuring our application's response alongside our infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, or disk usage, all presented in graph form. This is something other applications struggle to match."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"The dashboards give extensive statistics, which help with quick report preparation and analysis."
"The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web."
"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."
"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."
"They had wanted to change the GUI to improve the look and feel. However, since that time, we see a lot of hanging issues."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"I'd rate the scalability a six out of ten. The main reason is that it's a very expensive application. Other companies might not be able to afford it. For example, if we need to test an application with 10,000 concurrent users, the license can cost a lot of money. That's where OpenText tools shoot themselves in the foot compared to other tools. Because of the price, many companies, like one I used to work for, decided not to renew their licenses and switched to open-source testing tools."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"There is room for improvement with the support and community documentation as it can be difficult to find answers to questions quickly."
"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."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
