Performance Architect at Kohl's
Has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase
NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage. NetStorm has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase. One more great functionality is the ability to control the load runtime by increasing or decreasing the virtual users or pausing the users to keep on repeating the transactions without exiting.

Ensures high performance and adaptability while providing room for improved analytics and support
The analytics and reporting features can be improved, though they are good enough. If you have expertise, you can manage with what is included. However, it could be much better, especially with modern AI capabilities. When considering areas for improvement in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), there is a need for automated analysis and code-level support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Designs dynamic scripts and scenarios, as per our requirements, which is one the most important feature available in NetStorm. It helps us to do performance testing of our application in a periodic way."
"Over the past decade, the product team has continued working on improving and enhancing their tools."
"This tool helps to focus on real-time transactions that occur at a very high rate."
"Designs dynamic scripts and scenarios, as per our requirements, which is one the most important feature available in NetStorm."
"NetStorm had made Kohls.com very stable in the ATG platform as well as a cloud platform that Kohls didn't have any issues during the major holiday season like Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday."
"NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage."
"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; then to go ahead and have that pulled into trending reports so that even subtle differences or trends over time are found and not just game-changing defects."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise card, as it allows us to use our central software for all our testers who are located worldwide."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"The built-in feature of Performance Center that does this, has made allocation of resources much, much easier."
"It allows you to work out how well you are doing project-wise because you see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, and whether you have mapped all your requirements to it."
"The analytics and reporting features provide beneficial impacts on my organization, and the scalable testing environment is very beneficial for my performance testing processes."
"The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing."
 

Cons

"The user interface had to be improved for the product. Its user interface should be made simple and easy to customize as per user needs."
"In the next release, we are looking for a JS instrumentation feature that would be helpful in identifying client-side issues at an early stage, or during testing."
"Need to add or support some more APIs in the Script Manager window."
"In the next release, we are looking for a JS instrumentation feature that would be helpful in identifying client-side issues at an early stage, or during testing."
"NetStorm is a powerful tool but needs more information to be available on the Internet and Youtube on how to use it."
"The user interface had to be improved for the product. Its user interface should be made simple and easy to customize as per user needs."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"The solution is a very expensive tool when compared with other tools."
"The solution is expensive."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems."
"I believe the data that demonstrates the automated correlations should be corrected."
"Canned reports are always a challenge and a question with customers because customers want to see sexy reports."
"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetStorm is priced well when compared to many well-known tools."
"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."
"For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
"The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
"This solution can be expensive."
"It is a bit expensive when compared with other tools."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution should decrease its price."
