OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise ROI
There is an ROI. What LoadRunner does, is it prevents failures when there are many, many concurrent users in the systems of a company.
For example, what I do is I find in my client's timeline the historical moment where their application crashed, and they actually calculate their own damage.
Then I come with the performance test, and I take out as many performance bottlenecks as possible. So I tell them, "Look, now it will not crash in production because we have seen this exact situation." And I'm responsible to say for what I'm actually saying. But this is how I prove the value of the tool.
Another way to prove the value of the tool, even when it's quite expensive in my opinion. But since it can test different applications in the system, I do split the cost of, 30 to 40 projects. And when I split the cost into 40 projects, I will have a return on investment because it becomes a little bit cheaper. It all depends on budgeting and the customer. If I have a customer with an open mind, I can justify the cost.
If the customer is narrow-minded, then they don't want to use, and they are resistant to change, and they don't want to pay for trained professionals, I rather not sell.

It allows us to do all the regression testing and get performance data, which makes us able to spot bottlenecks and problems in what we are rolling out. We can see that something works at this scale, but when we try and scale it up, we start seeing issues or bottlenecks that we have to fix before we give it to a customer.

We have witnessed an ROI, however, when you take into account how we're costing it's likely not a helpful number to share.

Anything that can stop something that produces a million dollars a day from breaking is good.

We found that the return on investment is around 50 percent, even if the tool is expensive. We have found bugs that would have been critical if we had pushed the application into production. The solution has made up for its cost by saving us from pushing faulty scripts into production.

View full review »Our customers think of the following benefits as ROI of using HP Performance Center:
- Reducing downtime in operations phase that may come due to load on system by fixing or customizing their application to afford the maximum number of concurrent users they expect
- Prior knowledge of their system limitation and its break point, may let them take precautions steps at application server or network level to prohibit overload traffic that may crash their system.
The HP sales team is much more qualified to discuss topics related to pricing and licensing. HP is very focused on building long-lasting relationships with its clients, and as such is willing to negotiate a combination that is favorable for both them and the client.

The reservation system was down for over six hours. They estimated they had lost in excess of three million dollars an hour.
Regular performance testing prevents such occurrences. Needless to say they have not been down since.
