Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them.""The solution can scale.""The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI.""The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement.""The record and playback feature is the most valuable feature. It's all driven by the script, so it's a script-based tool where the background tracing starts. Java's background process does a lot of tracing. The process starts in the background. It sees what peaks of volumes that the process can handle. It's easy to use because it's script based, record, and playback. I"

"The product is easy to use.""There are numerous valuable features such as automation, the ones that facilitate importing and synchronization capabilities between our platform, Jira, and Azure DevOps.""The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time.""For automation testing, the tool provides the record and playback option, which helps with object detection easily.""The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare.""The most valuable feature of this solution is virtualization.""It is a complete solution for mobile application testing."

Cons
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries.""I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration.""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.""I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point.""I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check.""There is a steep learning curve for the product, too.""Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved.""We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."

More OpenText LoadRunner Cloud Cons →

"I would like to see more integration with automation tools.""For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively.""The documentation and user interface both need improvement.""We like to host the tools centrally. We would need them to be multi-tenants, so different projects could log on and have their own set of devices and their own set of apps, and they wouldn't see data from other projects that are using it.""We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it.""They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model.""The product's object detection method needs to be improved since it can help testers do perfect testing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."
  • "There is no monthly or yearly cost but rather, the fees are based on the amount of traffic that you use."
  • "We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."
  • "Pricing is dependent on what you're referring to. If you're talking about the cloud, it's likely competitive. However, if you're talking about the on-premise version, professional or enterprise licenses are required. Prices are on the high side. They are not cheap."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "It is expensive compared to other tools."
  • "LoadRunner always had expensive pricing. At my company, we used to evaluate LoadRunner, but we stuck with Silk Performer because its pricing was always better in the past. I do feel that I got a fair deal this time. Our value-added reseller and our sales guy worked hard to give us a fair deal. I feel that we got a fair deal. We did not go for the pay-as-you-go deal. I did an upfront package. I prefer that. I want to know what my costs are."
  • "The solution’s price is considerably high."
