Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Load 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."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"The reporting is very good in regard to scripting and debugging."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create performance test cases quickly and then execute them. It provides a lot of powerful features to do that very efficiently and effectively."
"The most useful aspect of the solution is that it provides agents in different geographic locations."
"My favorite feature in LoadRunner Professional is its ability to group scripts under separate IDs."
"The stability of Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional is very high. It is the leading tool for stability."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"If the support of the protocols was the same throughout the other protocols and it was there evenly, then I would rate the product higher."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"The monitoring technology in LoadRunner could be improved. It depends on another tool called SiteScope, but they only took a part of the features of SiteScope. They need to improve on that."
"The tool needs to work on capture script feature."
"IBM WebSphere MQ testing can be a bit challenging. It can handle that, but I hope that they will build more and more capabilities. We do a huge amount of testing for messaging. Just like aviation, the railway industry is based on messaging. There is messaging to build trains and messaging to create some bills. There are many train movements. Everything involves messaging. I wish that it will be developed more for IBM WebSphere testing. Monitoring is okay, but for testing, I currently have to create Java users. I have to load a lot of libraries from IBM WebSphere and so on."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."
"In terms of improvement, it lacks mobile testing features present in some competitors, like GitMatters, which I find valuable."
