Tricentis NeoLoad Reviews

There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis.

Implementing this product has allowed us to increase the number of projects that get load testing, and the frequency by which we re-test our performance.

It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be.

We've used it for seven years.

We haven't had any issues with deployment.

We have never experienced any isuses with stability.

The product has scaled very well up until this point.

The support from Neotys is very good. Responses are timely and come from experienced, knowledgeable load testing professionals.

We previously, and still use JMeter for some projects, in addition to Neoload.

The initial setup is straightforward for basic usage. The setup for higher volume load testing is more involved, but I wouldn't say complex, as should be expected for an enterprise class load testing tool.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

It's priced based on the numbers of VUs, virtual users, that your needs require. The free edition gives you 50 VUs. The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing. Cloud VUs can be rented on-demand for bursts of higher capacity testing needs without permanent purchase.

We looked at JMeter and Webload.

I highly recommend understanding load testing concepts before using any automation tool.

It is convenient to be able to keep up the pace in which the application code was delivered to us. Since we manage nearly 500-600 applications and we need to make sure they are tested, we wanted something robust with an option to check against previous baselines with minimal human intervention without sacrificing criteria.

We wanted something with less risk when incorporating or shifting scripts.

The fact that it loads from an external cloud is a plus as well.

It took just a few minutes to set up Neotys Cloud, as opposed to a few days with other solutions.

They are coming out soon with NeoSense. It's a hybrid between app management tools and a testing tool. This will be helpful for us because we'll be able to monitor applications within various different environments. This is precisely what we have wanted.

We've been using it for a year.

We had no issues with deployment.

We used to have only 50 online users. Later we moved to where we are.

We have used their gold support option. Yes, we have been happy. They usually answer between 36 and 48 hours for non-critical issues, and with critical issues they hold your hand.

We did it in-house.

We didn't negotiate the price. To give perspective, we went from spending three million dollars to 160 thousand dollars, which is a huge saving and good value.

One of our goals was to find a platform that would have the functionalities that we were used to while incorporating in other ones. ProLoad was a competitor, and one other (can't make out name).

We wanted it to support agile and devops, while being able to upgrade to a number of releases over the course of a day, so it was a fit.

The company really strives on experience, always making sure that I as a customer am happy. For example, my team at Dell had an issue with our new version, which we had just updated to. Another team used a different version which required different protocols, and there were discrepancies between the versions. The company found out that our errors were user errors, and helped us fix the problem.

I helped them in terms of product development since we at Dell told them requirements and they added that to product life cycles. So we are a customer, but told them some requirements we'd like to see.

We use Tricentis NeoLoad for performance testing purposes, like load testing and stress testing.

Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter. The other valuable features of Tricentis NeoLoad include correlation, parameterization, load testing, and file parsing.

Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts. Tricentis needs to improve in this area, and the solution should run smoothly even if thousands of scripts are imported into it.

I have been using Tricentis NeoLoad for one and a half years.

I rate Tricentis NeoLoad a nine out of ten for stability.

Around 10 to 12 users are using Tricentis NeoLoad in our organization.

I rate Tricentis NeoLoad an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup was easy.

Tricentis NeoLoad can be installed in ten minutes.

Tricentis NeoLoad is not an expensive solution, but it can be quite expensive if we need a license for load testing, depending on the organization level.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten.

I would recommend Tricentis NeoLoad to other users.

Overall, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad a nine out of ten.

Used for performance testing of applications on QA environments as well as production environments. NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution.

It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty.

• Integration of all components in one place.
• GUI-based requests
• Ease of use compared with other performance tools.

NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications. Neotys should take a look into this protocol.

No issues.

No issues. As far as Neotys NeoLoad, it is excellent in scalability.

The support is good. 

We started with NeoLoad.

The initial setup is easy.

The implementation was done in-house.

Our ROI is 100%.

The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools.

We tried JMeter, but due to its support (which we found subpar), we had to switch to NeoLoad.

You will love NeoLoad moving from open source and code-based performance tools.

All-in-one product (design, runtime, results), easy scripting and variable correlation, and load generators deployed all around the world to simulate global traffic.

It is easier to do load tests using NeoLoad.

The only improvement that I wanted is support for load tests in agile mode. Neoload 5.2 makes this possible by updating the old versions of scripts with data from the new HTTP requests.

I have 4 years of experience.

The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. The link is sometimes cut between the controller and the load generators.

10/10. Support is available, they handle issues very quickly, and they are very skillful.

I used HPE LoadRunner. I think that NeoLoad is more user-friendly.

NeoLoad is easy to deploy using the install wizard.

Well, first I got trained by a vendor team. After that, I implemented more projects using NeoLoad.

My advice is that there should be a minimum of 4GB of memory on the servers on which you are installing NeoLoad.

Neotys provides a free evaluation licence to use NeoLoad with up to 50 virtual users and all protocols included.

The product licence remains cheaper than HP LoadRunner, for example.

It makes it easy to create load tests. We used HP LoadRunner previously, and this is far better.

It's provided a faster turnaround on load-testing creation and the ability to use the team servers so multiple people can use this at once, which we couldn't do before.

It would be nice if this could be cheaper.

I've used it for one-and-a-half years.

It's been 100% stable, which we are very happy about.

Some of the additional modules can be pricey, but it is scalable.

Compared to support at our previous product, they're more responsive and they're more knowledgeable. Overall, it's three times better than our previous solution.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

We implemented it in-house.

We looked at JMeter, but NeoLoad had what we needed. We were using LoadRunner for six years and then we replaced it with NeoLoad.

Everyone's needs are a little bit different, so make sure you do a good POC.

The support for HTTP, JMS, REST API, and XBAP protocols is good. NeoLoad is very user friendly and works well with HTTP and REST AO’s. It's very effective during cloud based testing and the cost is a fraction of LoadRunner. v5.1.4 introduced the JMS testing protocol which is a copy of SOAP UI. I was pleasantly surprised that with a little tweaking and support from Neotys, NeoLoad worked with XBAP applications very efficiently.

It comes with new features, notably JMS which enables us to be on top of our performance testing tool list.

The documentation for the new JMS protocol is in its initial stages and Neotys needs to update their online support documentation with more information about it.

I've been using it for over three years.

We've not experienced any deployment issues.

There were a couple of times during a load run where NeoLoad crashed out but they were due to issues with our virtual machines rather than NeoLoad.

9/10

9/10 - the Neotys support team is superb and very efficient.

I have used LoadRunner for web, web services and Siebel protocols, but running and licensing costs were very high.

It's very straightforward.

Executable binaries made life easier during the implementation and do not require any advice.

Compared to LoadRunner, NeoLoad licensing of users is very cost effective. The cost is very simple and well defined and you can check it on the Neotys site.

You should attend a three day training course to fully understand the functioanlity of NeoLoad.

Screenshots:

The ability to test mobile applications, support cloud based testing, real-time monitoring during a test, advanced auto-correlation feature, infrastructure monitoring, detailed results reporting etc. It also gives the ability to manipulate the script by inserting JavaScript. It's one of the features that very few other tools have.

First and foremost, it took out the painful resource hours out that went in to manually correlate each and every action of the script while using LoadRunner. NeoLoad does not require much of scripting efforts, and correlation and parameterization are fairly easy.

We would like the product to be able to handle large project suits with large number of test scripts. Currently, we are not able to upload/publish huge projects back and forth from the team server to the NeoLoad controller. There is no support for VT3270 terminal emulation to support mainframe-hosted applications. There is no summary graph that shows the distribution of all of the response times on a single graph. We currently export the data as a coma separated variable (CSV) file and import into Excel to generate this summary graph.

4 years.

A small number of times, when load testing huge projects with huge number (~10,000) of vUsers, we have seen that it completely froze. We had to recover from the previously saved version of the project.

Very good, the vendor has been very accommodating with the ebb and flow of our business needs. Neotys is a partner.

Good. (They decommissioned the support for 4.2 though)

LoadRunner. Cost effective and with almost same features that are required for our project.

Straightforward and the technical support folks will be available to help.

We utilized a vendor team. They were fairly knowledgeable and knew how to quickly troubleshoot the issues or contact Neotys.

A great deal of improvement in application performance happened because we could pin point the bottlenecks. The real time performance monitoring allowed to find out the troublesome queries and tune them. Increased resource efficiency.

Low in cost when compared to tools like HP LoadRunner. Talking about licensing, they offer a cool feature that enables us to split the Vuser bundle across multiple machines. In other words, we can have multiple controllers running multiple load tests at the same time.

JMeter. Figured that it would not be suitable tool for our project and requirements.

NeoLoad is the performance testing solution for Web and Mobile applications that can also be used to run the tests from cloud by having load generator’s from various locations. If there is a strong performance team that can analyze and correlate the test results with the raw data, then NeoLoad would be the right solution.
