Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Tricentis, OpenText and others in Load Testing Tools."The solution does support a wide range of technologies and protocols. Plus, two features, network virtualization, and service virtualization, are really helpful. Apart from that, the way they have their billing scenarios, like the execution, is very good."
"We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done."
"I think the number one feature everybody likes is the capability to easily generate virtual users as well as the reporting."
"We have a centralized delivery team and we are able to meet enterprise requirements, which include different types of protocols that are involved, including scripting. The technology supports that and enables us to have a wider range of testing. Enterprise-level testing is something that we are satisfied with."
"Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"A good monitoring tool, simple to script and easy to configure."
"For such an experienced team as mine, who have been with the product for over ten years, sometimes working with technical support is not that easy."
"Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format."
"The solution is expensive."
"The support team needs to be more coordinated."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"A room for improvement in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is that it should take multiple exhibitions for a particular scenario and have automatic trending for that. This will be a very useful feature that lets users look into how many exhibitions happened for the scenario and their performance, and you should be able to see the data within the Performance Center dashboard. For example, there's one scenario I'm focusing on multiple times in a month, and if I check five times, there's no way for me to see the trend and find out how it went with those five exhibitions. It would be great if the Performance Center has a view of all five exhibitions, particularly transaction by transaction, and how they happened. If Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise shows you the time trends, information about one exhibition to another, and how each performed, it'll be an immense feature, and that should be visible to every user. Reporting should be simpler in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise. If I did a scenario with one exhibition now, and I did that scenario again, then I should be able to schedule that scenario for the exhibition, and if that scenario is executed multiple times, there should be the option to turn it into a single view that shows you all the transactions, how the performance was, what the trend graph is for a particular time, etc."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"They need to focus on minimizing the cost."
"If you have a large amount of data, the solution can struggle."
