Featured Reviews

Shyam_Prasad - PeerSpot reviewer
AVP - Testing & QA at Laminaar Aviation
Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability
Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used. Secondly, we have a very limited resource pool that uses this tool in India. So, finding resources familiar with Eggplant in India is challenging due to lack of affiliation programs and so on.

A VP at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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

"Customer Service: Excellent and very personal."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"It's been a revelation to us in terms of its ability to assist us in exploratory testing and to integrate with our current model-driven architecture."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"We've been really fortunate in that we've had virtually zero downtime in all the time we've been using Eggplant."
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"The solution solves my needs and provides everything required to carry out performance load testing."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"It is a very powerful tool."
"For us, the features we value and use the most are web and HTTP support."
"It has contributed greatly to the performance/stress testing of our application prior to going live and deployment."
"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."
"The technology will do great things for you if you have a plan and a structure and you know what you want it to do for you."
"The nice thing is that we do not need to have many controllers connected with Performance Center."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Bugs occur fairly frequently, but they are very responsive in identifying them and scheduling them for fixes in future releases."
"One area I can think of to improve is the usability of the reports that we get."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"It does not seem very professional and it is really a buggy behavior that should be fixed."
"I know there are integrations with continuous testing. It's got tie-ins to some of the newer tools to allow continuous testing. I'd love to see us not have to customize it, but for it to be out of the box."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"Regarding OpenText technical support, I find it very pathetic."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
"The previous versions were pretty unstable, but that's been fixed now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive in India."
"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
"There is an ROI. What LoadRunner does, is it prevents failures when there are many, many concurrent users in the systems of a company."
"They have a much more practical pricing model now."
"I give the cost a one 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."
"It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
"We purchased the license via SAP."
"ROI is 200%."
"We got a very good deal. We are happy with that. We have 5,000 licenses."
