Pros
"What I like most in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the comparison between two different exhibitions which gives value to my company. I also like that the solution is user-friendly, especially in terms of making specific changes. For example, in the past, you can't see the changes when you upload scripts into the Performance Center, but now, it has that visibility, so whenever you want, you can change the script in the Performance Center. I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting. The solution also has the latest features, for example, networkability, where it can, within the UI, follow the waterfall model. You can use the insights in the Performance Center of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise to address or test URLs that usually take up much time.""The product is good, and the concept is good as well.""LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure.""Support is nice, quick, and responsive.""You can test a huge variety of applications, not just web-based systems, but SAP, Oracle, web services, pretty much anything out in the market place, but it's mobile-based testing.""The most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols.""We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done.""The user interface is fine."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""Has good automation and load-testing capabilities.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""The solution is scalable.""We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""The function test feature is valuable."

Cons
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC.""It's not that popular on the cloud.""The solution is expensive.""LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible.""OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting.""When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns.""Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled.""OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface."

More OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise Cons →

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
