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.
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

"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've been really fortunate in that we've had virtually zero downtime in all the time we've been using Eggplant."
"Customer Service: Excellent and very personal."
"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."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"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."
"To give perspective, we went from spending three million dollars to 160 thousand dollars, which is a huge saving and good value."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"The stability is okay."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"Return on investment was better because our deliverables were not getting impacted and it was cheaper, so return on investment increased a lot compared to LoadRunner."
"It’s a very powerful tool which meets all our load and performance testing requirements, along with very sophisticated monitoring tools and reports."
 

Cons

"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"One area I can think of to improve is the usability of the reports that we get."
"Bugs occur fairly frequently, but they are very responsive in identifying them and scheduling them for fixes in future releases."
"Some of the documentation is geared more towards Java."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"The only issue that I had was with network virtualization on load generators installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
"The support needs to be improved, especially when you are looking for a quick turnaround because of the fast-paced environment we work in."
"I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost."
"If one person opens any script, another person won't be able to work on it simultaneously. If they can improve that feature, it would be helpful for everyone. I found that incorporating all the scripts into a single project was the challenging part. This is because we are working on different domains—I'm on one domain, and others are on another. We need to handle all these scripts cautiously."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the range of codeless scripting such as with terminal emulation apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is competitive in India."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"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."
"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."
"NeoLoad is cheaper compared to other solutions. There are no additional licensing fees."
"The tool is not cheap."
"Licensing for NeoLoad is subscription-based."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
