Solutions Architect ICT at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Has enabled my team to identify bottlenecks effectively and deliver reliable performance analysis across projects
I have mentioned many advantages about this product, but to discuss disadvantages or areas that could be improved, I would need to consult with my engineers who are working on it. So far I have not heard of any significant issues. I can gather specific improvement suggestions from my architect and provide that information later.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy, and if you need more help, they are there to assist."
"LoadView is a flexible solution, which protects your investments."
"LoadView is a perfect cloud-based load testing tool."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"For me as a user, the flexibility in different protocols and things like that which can be tested with the tool."
"I appreciate its ability to handle various internal calls and its user-friendly interface."
"This is a very mature tool that is always improving and has very good support as well."
"It helped our organization to run successful performance testing cycles and to identify the bottlenecks of the application."
"I am impressed with the tool's correlation function."
"In terms of ROI, LoadRunner does everything."
"I'm really happy with what they’re giving me for what I do, but because I don't do performance monitoring or performance testing using LoadRunner, I'm not completely aware of everything else, but for what I do it's a great tool for me."
"The reporting is very good in regard to scripting and debugging."
 

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 demo that I've seen today, it sounds pretty cool but it still has some limitations I guess."
"Premium support is great, but before that when we just had general support, it was not all that great."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"HP as a company has been slow to move to support modern technologies e.g. Oracle ADF."
"There's a reporting part of the cloud that could be improved a little bit."
"Technical support needs to be faster, and the pricing should be more competitive."
"We have a lot of issues right now with the Citrix client, so this should be improved."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high-quality technical support, I rate the support a one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
"The cost depends greatly on the needs of the testing engagement."
"The pricing model, especially when involving partners, could use some improvement."
"LoadRunner Professional's licensing costs are on the higher side, apart from the Community Edition."
"The price is a bit on the high side, but it is still affordable."
"The fee for LoadRunner Professional is very high - about US$500 per user."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing model and the software licensing model could be better."
"This is not a cheap product."
