"Enables us to test most of the products and projects that we have across all the different technologies, without having to look at other tools."
"The reporting mechanism is a valuable feature that generates good reports."
"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."
"I would rate Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional's stability at eight out of ten."
"The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."

"The debugging capability should be improved."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The solution lacks some form of integration."
"I recently just got to see LoadRunner Developer, but it is still not fully developed to use."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"LoadRunner Professional's parameter data could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, it lacks mobile testing features present in some competitors, like GitMatters, which I find valuable."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"The performance could be faster."
"The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Its UI could be better."
"The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
