Pros
"Technical support is very good. I'm very satisfied with the assistance we've received so far." More IBM Rational Performance Tester Pros »	"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise.""It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management." More Zephyr Enterprise Pros »

More IBM Rational Performance Tester Cons »	"Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular.""We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility." More Zephyr Enterprise Cons »
