"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise supports a lot of technologies. The existing performance testing that this tool is capable of is good. The protocols that are available are widely varied when compared to other performance testing tools."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"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."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting, correlations, and parameterization. Debugging is also easy."
"The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing."
"A good monitoring tool, simple to script and easy to configure."
"They had wanted to change the GUI to improve the look and feel. However, since that time, we see a lot of hanging issues."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"I think better support for cloud-based load generators would help. For example, integrate with Amazon AWS so you can quickly spin up a load generator in the cloud, use it, spin it down."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"If you have a large amount of data, the solution can struggle."
