Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"The fact that the solution supports multiple protocols such as open source, VuGen, TruWeb, TruClient, and SAP is very important because these protocols help us to concentrate on what is really needed to produce performance tests. If something is not supported, you have to use other tools or find other ways of assimilating loads."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"The solution is free to use."
"Its biggest advantage is that it is very customizable."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are the automation of all UI tests, its open-source, reliability, and is supported by Google."
"It supports most of the mainstream browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, IE and etc."
"There are three modules in the system that are different products packaged into one, and they can sometimes be difficult to figure out, so they should be better integrated with each other."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."
"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"It would be better if it accommodated non-techy end-users. I think it's still a product for developers. That's why it's not common for end-users, and especially for RPA activities or tasks. It's hard to automate tasks for end-users. If it will be easier, more user-friendly, and so on, perhaps it can be more interesting for this kind of user."
"The latest versions are often unstable."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"There should be standardized frameworks to build automation."
"The reporting part can be better."
"It would be awesome if there was a standalone implementation of Selenium for non-developer users."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"An improvement to Selenium HQ would be the inclusion of a facility to work on Shadow DOM."
