We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud and OpenText LoadRunner Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Load Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"The TruClient feature is the most valuable for us. An application with testing can only be scripted using TruClient, so it's part web-based, but it also has its own protocol combined with HTTP and HTML. So many other tools do not recognize this specific proprietary protocol. Using TruClient, we can still create scripts that cover everything that we need to cover."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."
"Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"It provides clients with an understanding of application and system performance."
"The Analysis feature makes it easy to analyze cross-data and we can pin to the focus period."
"Its variety of testing tools for different applications is of great benefit, as well as its integration capabilities with other testing and monitoring solutions."
"I think that analytics is very good and that the analytics features are very powerful."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"The capabilities and flexibility of the Controller, the ability to monitor the systems under test, and the comprehensive results Analysis which saves a great deal of time."
"The front loader and the reporting features are the most valuable aspects of OpenText LoadRunner Professional."
"There are three modules in the system that are different products packaged into one, and they can sometimes be difficult to figure out, so they should be better integrated with each other."
"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"Licensing costs could be reduced."
"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."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"Instead of having too many graphs and tabs, use the analysis section to get a more simplified defect analysis."
"The product is not stable and reliable in the version we are currently using."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"The tool needs to work on capture script feature."
"The tool should consider releasing a SaaS version since it makes more sense nowadays."
