What is most valuable?
At the moment I like to use the TruClient port, add them and create other versions of TruClient, because TruClient is usually too big to handle heavy loads, so you need to recreate a vamp version for whatever you will need.What needs improvement?
Sometimes I have problems when I want to record a script if the application is a little special, like the login part. I think the TruClient works well and they are developing new things there all the time. So it's getting better. I would like to see an easier way to move things from SoapUI to the same addressed services and postman or something like that. Because the developers will use the other… more»What other advice do I have?
My advice to others would be to look into the application differently. In the next version, I would like to see an easier way to create and use TruClient for development and to move it to another version. They already have this function, but it is not very user-friendly. You cannot do a correlation of things now, because it is on a higher level now. So you have to do a lot of work.

What I really like about this solution, is the user-friendly interface and the loading and repair properties.How has it helped my organization?
The solution improves our organization because we can use it for recording scripts, enhancing the scripts and for running test revisions. We can therefore preform test revisions and do analysis.What needs improvement?
Currently the solution doesn't have recording options or sometimes we're not be able to see the recording options. So that needs to improve. I also think the solution should have more screen compatibility, even if you're using a different operating system like Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1… more»What other advice do I have?

What is most valuable?
The reporting mechanism is a valuable feature that generates good reports. The auto-correlation is much better than the different protocols that it supports. LoadRunner is easy to use.What needs improvement?
The debugging capability is difficult to use and should be improved. This is one area where some of the other products we use are better.Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used multiple testing tools like Visual Studio and NeoLoad. We have all of these as options. LoadRunner is easier to use and has support for better protocols.What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.Which other solutions did I evaluate?
NeoLoad was one of the options that we considered, but we ultimately went with LoadRunner.

What is most valuable?
I like the user interface. I like the way we can divide our scenarios and can tune them. The integration with the quality center is great. These features are really good.What needs improvement?
Pricing should be lowered on the solution. Right now it's quite expensive. The solution uses a lot of memory and then it dies. It's difficult to work with the solution sometimes when you run a scenario it dies. They need to make the solution lighter somehow. If the correlation can be adjusted so… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We've basically used LoadRunner since the beginning; we find it more user-friendly than other tools.What other advice do I have?
We started using the solution when it was version 8.2 and now we are on version 10.6. We use the on-premises deployment model. I would recommend the solution to others. I'd rate it eight out of ten.Real User
