"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.""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""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""Has good automation and load-testing capabilities.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""The function test feature is valuable."

Cons
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet.""I'd rate the scalability a six out of ten. The main reason is that it's a very expensive application. Other companies might not be able to afford it. For example, if we need to test an application with 10,000 concurrent users, the license can cost a lot of money. That's where OpenText tools shoot themselves in the foot compared to other tools. Because of the price, many companies, like one I used to work for, decided not to renew their licenses and switched to open-source testing tools.""I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering.""On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges.""OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface.""I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""I would like to see better dashboards.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
