Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"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"
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"Customer service and technical support responsiveness are high. Everyone is very professional."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The most valuable features are the desktop and mobile modules."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"The ease-of-use and quality of the overall product are above average."
"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."
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."
"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."
"Their documentation is not technical enough for us. We would like to have much deeper technical documentation so that we can self-serve without constantly having to go back to them and ask."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"I didn't use it very heavily. One issue that I found was that there wasn't a quick way or a button to move Visual Basic scripts to TestComplete. We have a lot of such scripts in our organization, and it would be very useful to have some option to easily move these scripts. It is currently possible to convert these scripts to TestComplete, but it is not easy. I have to write some code, but everything is not available immediately."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"One notable drawback is the absence of native integration with Git."
"It is very hard to read the test log generated by TestComplete Executor if the log file is very big. TestComplete Executor is a small tool for just running the TestComplete test framework (not for developing)."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
