More OmniPeek Pros →

"For banking and telecom solutions, it's been quite useful.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Diagnostics is the information reported from an application that has timed out. For example, when you're Googling, or you're booking a ticket for Burj Khalifa here, the longest tower in the world, there are situations where the system can time out. There are times when you might not receive a response on the payment gateway or you are not able to find the reservation. The customer only receives the information that the session has timed out.""The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects."

Cons
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""The solution's automation has room for improvement.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."

More OmniPeek Cons →

"The interface could be more user friendly.""The GUI and metrics of Micro Focus Diagnostics can be improved. The metrics the solution gathers can be limited and could be enhanced by giving more details.""The interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI."
