Tricentis NeoLoad Reviews

It gives us the ability to quickly script a load test scenario and to develop complex testing scenarios. If you ever want to know more about your application, just recording a session can be invaluable.

Outside of the obvious benefits of load testing, the data we get back and are able to provide at the executive level provide a level comfort in the given application at peak periods, and drives direction for future performance-oriented projects and goals.

They have done well with patching and enhancements in each version. More of a “community” of shared experiences, help, and collaboration would be a good enhancement to their site.

We've been using it since 2011.

No issues encountered.

At times we have had issues with load generator agent stability, but tuning the heap and documented network hacks greatly reduced this.

No, it's very easy and quick to scale.

7/10

7/10

No, not previously but we have demonstrated or performed proof of concepts of other products.

The infrastructure setup was very straightforward, and getting started with our first test was relatively easy with online videos and resources.

We did it in-house.

Difficult to really estimate, however we do know that by load testing we have found countless issues over the years that would have affected our e-commerce revenue had these issues made it to our production environment.

We evaluated other products of similar nature as well other team member’s prior experiences with similar products.

We evaluated other products of similar nature as well other team member’s prior experiences with similar products.

Start with some small, simple scenarios and expand complexity from there. Your project will take shape quickly, and something that seems overwhelming and complex will all of a sudden will not be so hard. Use the online resources and videos.

Ease of use. Technology support, and robust features.

We are able to use NeoLoad to quickly expand performance testing to all critical business applications and address some key performance issues.

Team Server - Neotys Team Server - This currently stores project data on the local drive. I suggest having Neotys Team Server Data stored on an actual server.

Since 2014.

No issues. Simple deployment process.

None.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Yes, HP LoadRunner. We switched due various reasons including cost, ease of use and robust features.

Yes, the initial setup process is really straightforward.

In house.

We primarily use the solution for load testing. Our focus is not so much performance testing. We focus more on load testing, which does inadvertently include performance testing, however. 

The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad.

Overall, we're quite satisfied with the product.

Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing.

I've been using the solution for about a year now.

The stability of the solution has been good, or at least good enough for our purposes. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches so far. We also haven't had any crashes that would lead us to believe the solution isn't sound.

The scalability has so far fit our needs. We haven't had any issues expanding as required.

We currently have three people actively working on the solution. They are all testers.

The technical support is very good. Whenever we have needed something, they've provided support without us having to worry or wonder about if we'd get a response. Either they would send someone or help us remotely or the partner that they recommended to us (during the implementation process) helped us very quickly. The support has met our expectations so far and we're satisfied with their level of support.

We previously used Apache JMeter. We switched because test cases were easier to build on this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward for us. However, we did have assistance with the process, and that made it easier.

We got someone from Neotys to help us find someone to help assist us. They recommended a partner to help us to set it up right very quickly. We ordered the assistance suggested and we signed the contract on a Friday evening. We got the first report from NeoLoad the following Tuesday evening. We were quite satisfied with the assistance we received. It made the setup process quite easy.

We have pretty close to the latest version of the solution but are currently trying to make an upgrade.

I can recommend that product. I'd also recommend that new or potential users do some training. It's a good idea to use experienced partners or consultants to assist with the initial setup.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Less manual scripting and ease of setting up monitoring are very valuable features of the tool.

Loadrunner has extensive list of analysis features available whereas NeoLoad had limited when I worked.

It helped us deliver the solution for various customers within budget and efficiently.

Analysis can be further improved. I have been using LoadRunner analysis and it has been a very powerful tool.

I have used it for six months.

I have not encountered any deployment issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

Technical support's turnaround time for issue response is too good.

I have worked on various different performance testing tools, and I found NeoLoad very much within budget without compromising the quality of the product.

Initial setup was straightforward.

A vendor team implemented it.

More protocols can be added, and I would love to see if any profiler is included in it.

The most valuable feature that we've found useful is that NeoLoad provides a variety of bandwidths.

I was able to use this product in the past for simulating mobile performance after recording a script over the LAN. This feature wasn't available in other testing products that I evaluated.

Neotys was extremely promising when they launched and it had features that older versions of HP LoadRunner and HP Performance Center did not (automatic correlation, for example). However with newer releases of HP ALM (especially 11.52 onward), these features were readily available with HP products.

I also ran into installation issues with NeoLoad when the installation never completed.

I've used it for over two years.

I uninstalled the product and tried to install the latest version. However, it sort of kept hanging during the installation procedure.

We've had no stability issues.

There have been no issues scaling it for our needs.

In my experience, technical support was pretty good in those times I had to contact them for issues.

It was a simple initial setup.

We implemented it through our in-house team.

It’s very easy for a person without any performance testing experience to use. It was a breeze to install and start using.

Monitoring Agents, Dynamic Parameters and Automatically Recording of all the Requests and Responses.

We did not have any idea as to why our application was breaking during normal loads. NeoLoad helped us to determine the huge issues and factors which were completely hidden if not for NeoLoad.

It would be nice if they could make it so that the dynamic parameterization in the requests came back without the values from the previous responses. Also, it needs the ability to capture SQL queries that are being fired.

I've been using it for eight months.

We had scalability issues for loads over 1000 when using one Load Generator. Now we have increased the Load Generator to two.

They are very good and prompt in resolving tickets that we raise with them. They did help us in resolving certain issues over the phone call with a NeoLoad Expert.

This was our first performance testing tool.

It was very straightforward as it comes with an installer and you just need some space and a server to install it on.

We implemented it in house and my advice is to follow the installation document.

If you install it, you can have fun.

We were customers of NeoLoad and I'm an automation test engineer and team lead.

I do like this tool, it's very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good. It's also simple for anyone who doesn't have a technical or coding background. I liked that we could record the script and use it multiple times. 

Our issues with the solution were related to the license and the support. We had a technical issue related to our software and they weren't able to solve the problem. 

We used this solution for 18 months. 

I don't find this to be such a stable product because our requirements mean we need to be able to change the script on a monthly and sometimes weekly basis.

The support is not great - they don't respond in a timely way. 

We purchased a two-year license but broke the contract after 18 months. 

We're currently looking for a NeoLoad alternative. I prefer dynamic tools because we should be able to change the script and NeoLoad didn't allow us to do that. I'm looking for a tool that will allow for a weekly or monthly script change and provide us with the ability to update whatever has been recorded. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We use NetLoad for two different types of testing. We use it for load testing and automation testing. We use it test out the user experience. 

NeoLoad can be integrated with Selenium for testing the user interface and user experience.

The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good. It supports regular expressions that help us to correlate things.

NeoLoad integrates well with other solutions.

I would like to see support for auto-correlations.

I have been using Neotys NeoLoad for three years.

This is a stable solution from what I know. The frequency in which it is used depends on the project and the client.

We have 50 people who are licensed and using this solution.

The technical support is good.

I also have experience with Apache JMeter.

The implementation is easy. It is just about downloading the application and there are three modules to install and configure, including the monitoring, the agents, and the controller.

This is definitely a solution that I recommend. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
