Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."We find the solution stable and scalable."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"With LoadRunner Enterprise, doing various types of performance testing, load testing, and automation testing has been very helpful for some of the teams."
"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."
"It allows you to work out how well you are doing project-wise because you see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, and whether you have mapped all your requirements to it."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Support is nice, quick, and responsive."
"It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"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."
"More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"Canned reports are always a challenge and a question with customers because customers want to see sexy reports."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
