We used the Professional version and then moved to the enterprise version. We have subscribed to 1000 user licenses. The tool will be super expensive if we take up 5,000 user licenses. We have to limit ourselves on testing.

We are an enterprise company so we have a license with Micro Focus. I believe that if you have up to 50 users, there is an open-source option.

The solution is pretty expensive. I can't speak to the exact cost. I'd rate it three out of five in terms of affordability.

There are a lot of negotiations going on right now about the product's pricing. There is a bit of unhappiness on that aspect and how it's currently being presented versus how it was presented previously.

OpenText/Microfocus productions are costly. They need to focus on minimizing the cost.

The suitability of the solution depends on the specific needs and requirements of an organization or project. It also depends on which model will be integrated and used, as does the price structure and the licensing. We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money. The only challenge is when it comes to large enterprise companies that are working with multiple suppliers. The integration of licenses is very difficult or in some cases, impossible.

It's a costly tool. When you are paying for something, there are expectations that it will work properly.

I'd rate the affordability at a two out of five. 

You do need to buy a few extra features that are not included in the main cost.

The tool is very expensive. It's probably one of its biggest weak points. As a capability manager for performance, it's a battle every year to substantiate the cost. There's an opportunity for OpenText to help us educate people who are not in the field.

I don't know this as a fact. However, I've heard that LoadRunner is pricey.

I have heard from different customers that although LoadRunner's a great product, sometimes they are looking for alternatives, since the pricing model for LoadRunner's very expensive. Sometimes customers will look at other options for testing tools due to the cost.

I'm not sure if other similar solutions are cheaper, but Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is expensive, and could easily be 20 percent cheaper.

I give the cost a one out of ten.

The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year. You can just on-demand purchase it for your users for a day or two, which is nice in an MSP business like mine. If I need to use it for separate clients, I don't have to have a huge layout of capital upfront.

LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high, but it gives more value for money than some cheaper alternatives.

I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money.

You should be aware of what you want to test. Could you settle for a less pricey solution? It's a very expensive tool, and it has a lot of features you may not need.

Senior Performace Engineer at Yolandi,miller@multichoice.co.za

In South Africa, for a load license with about 5,000 concurrent users, the annual license, not including patches, is around 1.5 million to 2 million, depending on the currency exchange. That's a lot of money, especially for startups. 

Sometimes, you might have the license renewed for support, but if the application is stable, you might not need the annual fee. It can feel like throwing money away.

I'm not quite sure about the exact pricing because I do not handle that part of the business, but I think the Performance Center is quite expensive. It is more expensive than LoadRunner, although I am not sure how many controllers you can run for the same price. They said Performance Center was costing us around 40 million Krones and that is about 4 million dollars. But I think that was with ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) as well and not only for Performance Center.

It's expensive, but useful if the usage is across the globe; others are pay-as-you-go type license which can be used to minimize the costs.

The license of Performance Center is not cheap and may be very expensive for some protocols, such as SAP and Oracle. Accordingly, optimizing the license to what is only needed – in terms of protocol and number of virtual users can save a lot of money. When the load testing is limited with a start and end date plan, I recommend using temporary licenses, or a pay-as-you-go model of license, it may be more expensive in the short run, but of course it would be more economical in the long run.

The solution needs to reduce licensing costs. Its main competition, for example, is free to use, so I'm sure it's rather difficult to compete with it on a cost level.

The price tag on Performance Center is a large one. It can be daunting. There are so many options now with Cloud Controllers, using Cloud Load Generators, purchasing VUser licenses by the day or even hour. Additionally, Performance Center in the cloud relieves you of the essential maintenance and administration requirements.
