Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."
"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."
"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."
"The solution is very stable."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"The stability is okay."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."
"The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."
"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."
"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"Connecting with the solution's technical support can be time-consuming. The turnaround time for a ticket raised is around 72 hours, which becomes an issue when working on a huge project in our company."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"There is room for improvement with the support and community documentation as it can be difficult to find answers to questions quickly."
"Some users may find NeoLoad too technical, while other users may prefer a scripting language instead of a UI with figures and forms they have to fill in."
"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."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
