Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."My company has a good experience with Tricentis NeoLoad, and what I like best about it is that it lets you generate loads from different geographies. The load generation agents getting placed on different geographies is a very good feature of the solution. I also like that you can scale up Tricentis NeoLoad very quickly. The general feedback on performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad for all product lines within my company is good."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"The best feature of the solution is that we can utilize the Tosca scripts for NeoLoad execution."
"Simple capturing of dynamic variables and simple scripting."
"The licensing cost is very less for NeoLoad. It is user-friendly and easy to understand because they have created so many useful functionalities. When I started working with this tool, we just had to do the initial assessment about whether this tool will be able to support our daily work or not. I could easily understand it. I didn't have to search Google or watch YouTube videos. In just 15 to 20 minutes, I was able to understand the tool."
"NeoLoad offers better reporting than most competing tools. It is effortless to analyze and measure the reported data. It's also simple to generate a report that most people can read and management can understand. NeoLoad helps you figure out the main issues inside the application."
"I would rate it as eight out of 10 for ease of setting up."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to execute parallel requests, unlike JMeter and LoadRunner which can only be run sequentially."
"Visual Studio is an exemplary integrated development environment that stands out due to its exceptional features. It allows for the seamless selection of the appropriate programming language for the specific development tasks at hand. This facilitates a swift and effortless transition between languages, providing a highly efficient development experience."
"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"The debugging feature is valuable."
"We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"The setup is easy and straightforward."
"I didn't like much of the support that you get from the Tricentis group unless it was after it integrated with Tricentis; the support is not that good."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"There were some features that were lacking in Tricentis NeoLoad, e.g. those were more into Citrix and other complicated protocols, which were supported easily by a competitor: Micro Focus LoadRunner. We also need to look into how it integrates with other Tricentis products, because Tricentis did not have a good performance testing tool until now."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is higher compared to other tools. Though the product’s reports are accurate, it needs to be more detailed like other tools."
"It needs improvement with post-production."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"Sometimes, the product is too complex to use."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"Its UI could be better."
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its scalability."
"The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
"One of the problems with this solution is you need to be highly technically skilled to operate it, it is not for everyone."
