Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users.""LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications.""With LoadRunner Enterprise, doing various types of performance testing, load testing, and automation testing has been very helpful for some of the teams.""The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support.""Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate.""Creating the script is very easy and user friendly.""It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."

Cons
"A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet."

"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved.""I know there are integrations with continuous testing. It's got tie-ins to some of the newer tools to allow continuous testing. I'd love to see us not have to customize it, but for it to be out of the box.""We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application.""I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface.""In Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise, I need to spend a lot of time training people, while on other low-code or no-code platforms, I need not invest that much time.""For such an experienced team as mine, who have been with the product for over ten years, sometimes working with technical support is not that easy."
