Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations."
"The solution does support a wide range of technologies and protocols. Plus, two features, network virtualization, and service virtualization, are really helpful. Apart from that, the way they have their billing scenarios, like the execution, is very good."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"The solution supports a number of protocols."
"With LoadRunner Enterprise, doing various types of performance testing, load testing, and automation testing has been very helpful for some of the teams."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise supports a lot of technologies. The existing performance testing that this tool is capable of is good. The protocols that are available are widely varied when compared to other performance testing tools."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"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."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."
"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"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."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
