User-friendly, cheap, and quick to set up
It's actually quite easy to set it up. You can change your upgrade plan at any time. The pricing is reasonable. The support was also very good. They are great at helping you set it up. Overall, it's user-friendly. I like that you can also use different servers, which I used in Europe or in different contexts. The reporting is okay. I can get notifications via email, which is nice. Everything is immediate and in real-time.

Performance testing has supported web app peak analysis but needs better setup and smarter scripting
Regarding points for improvement for OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), I see that features are not being fully developed yet. If OpenText could think about bringing AI features into the tool, it could save maximum time in scripting or make scripting effortless, particularly in correlation, which is where the complexity involved in script development exists. If any AI features could replace or eliminate more manual work on the correlation part, that is where we could see a game-changing improvement for the tool. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) can be positioned very well in the market. However, I see that the basic correlations are only being handled by the autocorrelation engine in the LoadRunner tool, and I would expect a few improvements to handle even complex correlation problems so that the tool can be appropriately positioned compared to their peers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LoadView is a flexible solution, which protects your investments."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The initial setup is easy, and if you need more help, they are there to assist."
"LoadView is a perfect cloud-based load testing tool."
"It has contributed greatly to the performance/stress testing of our application prior to going live and deployment."
"ALM centralizes everything, allowing you to see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, whether you have mapped all your requirements, and to produce metrics fairly easily for your line management and higher, making it far better than people using Excel spreadsheets."
"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."
"OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) helps us to identify the hotspots from the applications during peak times through the LRE simulation."
"It is pretty easy to do test execution and results analysis. When it comes to scenario settings, LoadRunner Enterprise has an extra edge over other testing tools in the industry. The scenario setup is easy, and in terms of execution, we have a clear idea of what is happening"
"It helps us to be confident and to be aware of where issues are before we release a product to a wider audience."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"It is a very powerful tool."
 

Cons

"A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet."
"If I do the web application test, I want to bypass a login part."
"The solution is expensive."
"Many of my customers have had to switch to different tools due to the cost of LoadRunner, despite its advantages, leading them to alternatives like JMeter and RPT."
"Integration can be tricky during the setup process."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"It does not seem very professional and it is really a buggy behavior that should be fixed."
"Third-party product integrations could be a little more slickly handled."
"Support is very poor. We've had a very frustrating experience with them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."
"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 tool is very expensive."
"There is an ROI. What LoadRunner does, is it prevents failures when there are many, many concurrent users in the systems of a company."
"I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
"We got an 80 percent discount for the product. It was cost-effective, but licenses tend to get expensive."
"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."
"We got a very good deal. We are happy with that. We have 5,000 licenses."
