We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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""We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development.""The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as it connects to all of the endpoints that we need it to.""The Frameworks feature is valuable. NeoLoad Web and the API are also valuable. It provides API support.""In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool.""From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest.""The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web.""I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up.""The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad.""The dashboards give extensive statistics, which help with quick report preparation and analysis."

Cons
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite Cons →

"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times.""The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines.""NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications.""We would like NeoLoad to be able to support more protocols. Testing can also be a little tricky at times.""There were some features that were lacking in Tricentis NeoLoad, e.g. those were more into Citrix and other complicated protocols, which were supported easily by a competitor: Micro Focus LoadRunner. We also need to look into how it integrates with other Tricentis products, because Tricentis did not have a good performance testing tool until now.""Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing.""While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us.""In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."

    The six phases of an IT project Enthusiasm Disillusionment Panic Search for the guilty Punishment of the innocent (the performance tester) Praise and rewards for the incompetent non-participants This article has been put together as part of an evaluation of the performance test tools NeoLoad and LoadRunner. I consulted a variety of sources, including user groups, discussions with colleagues, telephone chats with HP (the vendors of LoadRunner) and Neotys (the vendors of NeoLoad), and of course the Oracle – Google. The opinions in this article are my own and do not represent the views of any particular company, the software vendors or any organisation (and I’ve assumed that readers have some knowledge of web application performance testing). The versions discussed in this article as of April 2014 are: LoadRunner 11.52 NeoLoad 4.2.2 I hope this evaluation and comparison will assist you with your own evaluation of LoadRunner and NeoLoad. Introduction LoadRunner and NeoLoad are considered the top two best performance testing tools on the market. Comparing the two tools is just like comparing a Mercedes Benz and a BMW: both are high performance, perfectly engineered machines that also have an associated prestige. Performance testing is a critical component of the software testing process. It determines the actual operational boundaries that will simulate the real world use of an application. Performance testing is load testing, stress testing and scalability testing. Why… Read more →
