Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."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."
"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 solution is very stable."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
"The Frameworks feature is valuable. NeoLoad Web and the API are also valuable. It provides API support."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"What I found best in Tricentis NeoLoad is that it's better with scripting and load test execution in the load testing environment compared to its competitors. The tool has a better design, scenarios, and model, which I find helpful. I also found the Result Manager a fascinating part of Tricentis NeoLoad because of the way it collates results and presents reports. The straightforward implementation of Tricentis NeoLoad, including ease of use, is also valuable to my team."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"I feel that the codeless part, the dynamic value capture part is quite easy in NeoLoad compared to other tools."
"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."
"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."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"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."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its price, as it has a hefty price tag."
"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."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the terminal emulation mainframe. It is not able to use the low code or no code option. You have to code it yourself."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"The solution can be improved by introducing a secure testing feature."
