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.
AnantJoshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director Intelligent Automation at Truglobal
Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature that we've found useful is that NeoLoad provides a variety of bandwidths."
"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"Simple capturing of dynamic variables and simple scripting."
"I have worked on various different performance testing tools, and I found NeoLoad very much within budget without compromising the quality of the product."
"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."
"The solution is a UI-based tool, so it's easy to use because we don't have to do actual recording with it. This makes it easier to use, and, in terms of speed, it's a bit faster than other tools when it comes to scripting."
"The reporting features are great."
 

Cons

"NetStorm is a powerful tool but needs more information to be available on the Internet and Youtube on how to use it."
"Need to add or support some more APIs in the Script Manager window."
"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."
"The price of this solution could be reduced to make it more competitive."
"Tricentis NeoLoad's mobile platform acts as a stand-alone application but needs to be integrated with the main interface"
"The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"It needs to support SAP GUI-based applications, which forms 60-70% of our portfolio, as well as Windows (client install) and Citrix-based applications."
"It needs improvement with post-production."
"The product is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetStorm is priced well when compared to many well-known tools."
"Pricing for Tricentis NeoLoad could be cheaper because, at the moment, it's expensive. For a year, the solution cost us a lot of money, in particular, more than $50,000."
"The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is much cheaper compared to other tools like LoadRunner."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten."
"From a licensing cost perspective, I rate the product an eight out of ten since it is a cheap solution that looks costly for certain areas."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We used a 60-day trial with ten hours of work per month."
"Its licensing cost is very less."
