We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users.""It allows you to work out how well you are doing project-wise because you see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, and whether you have mapped all your requirements to it.""We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise Is very user-friendly.""We can book load generators.""I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface.""Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me.""The performance and load testing are very good.""Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution.""The way it identifies elements is good."

Cons
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible.""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.""I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected.""We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application.""The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet.""It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side.""It would be good if we could look forward at the future technology needs we have. I would like to see Micro Focus provide more customer awareness around how LoadRunner can fulfill requirements with Big Data use cases, for example, where you do performance testing at the scale of data lakes... when it comes to technologies our company has yet to adopt, I would like to see an indication from Micro Focus of how one does performance testing and what kinds of challenges can we foresee. Those kinds of studies would really help us.""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."

"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy.""I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding.""There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test.""The charts need to be more detailed and customizable.""It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
  • "It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
  • "It is a bit expensive when compared with other tools."
  • "ROI is 200%."
  • "It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."
  • "The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
  • "They have a much more practical pricing model now."
  • "I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
