We performed a comparison between Akamai CloudTest, OpenText LoadRunner Cloud, 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.
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"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."
"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"The licensing cost is very less for NeoLoad. It is user-friendly and easy to understand because they have created so many useful functionalities. When I started working with this tool, we just had to do the initial assessment about whether this tool will be able to support our daily work or not. I could easily understand it. I didn't have to search Google or watch YouTube videos. In just 15 to 20 minutes, I was able to understand the tool."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"The stability is okay."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"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."
"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."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"The product must provide agents to monitor servers."
"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."
"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"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."
"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."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
