Centralized cloud testing has improved global load generation and real-time performance insights
The most valuable features I have found in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) are that everything is online and centralized, so I do not need to go anywhere to check the configuration and everything. OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud)'s advanced analytics help identify performance bottlenecks because whenever we are executing the test scripts, it shows a good analytics view where we can simply check which APIs are not performing well. The cloud-based load generators in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) have benefited my testing setup because we can generate the load across the globe, which was previously a little bit difficult on the on-premises version. The user interface in OpenText Core Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Cloud) is intuitive and this will be easy to communicate and collaborate amongst the team also because sharing the online URL with the team, they can simply check the analysis and everything.

An excellent solution for graph testing on programming software
Our primary use case for the solution is for graph testing on programming software The information provided via the solution and the dashboard is valuable. Additionally, it's interesting as you can view inside information integrated and see the WebLOAD with APM. There is no analytical dashboard…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to set up a load test, to start it and end it, and it is valuable that it is very easy to use."
"It's very valuable because with StormRunner we can validate the capacity of our systems."
"The fact that you don't have to worry about the infrastructure setup and that thousands of virtual users can log on to the cloud without having to set up provides a powerful, easy solution for new or existing customers."
"I rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud ten out of ten."
"I would rate OpenText LoadRunner Cloud a ten out of ten for scalability."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software."
"This software solution has allowed us to run larger, high concurrency performance testing cycles in a very repetitive manner…a requirement for validating our application solutions and supporting infrastructure for customer facing web apps."
"The analytics pack is probably one of the most powerful tools that I've seen."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting; it is interesting, intuitive, and we can do some parameterization."
"Technical support has been excellent, responsive, and helpful in trying to work through issues and questions."
"The tool itself is very viable for us."
"Customer service is excellent; they're very responsive and willing to work extra hours, and in the first couple of hours that we were up and running, they taught us how to implement it and to figure out and negotiate AWS."
"They are the best of all of the vendors I deal with, hands down."
"The solution is simple and useful."
"The most valuable aspect is that the IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process."
 

Cons

"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"The documentation could absolutely be improved and scripts."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"StormRunner is very rudimentary at this time, but it's a great concept."
"I think the report page could be improved, although we have used the reporting feature."
"This vendor, Micro Focus, is not very good at technical support."
"Because it is a paid tool, its cost is very high."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"We have had a lot of trouble with this solution, and it is actually adapted to our application."
"There is no analytical dashboard."
"The reporting side of things is really complicated. It's difficult to get out exactly what you're looking for, there are almost too many options."
"We did have an issue with some of the script working incorrectly in our higher environments."
"They can improve in the reporting - the ability to generate custom reports."
"Well there’s one issue when I have five or six scripts-- you have to set up different percentages and the number of connections and users, no matter how I tweak it seems that when I have one of the load scripts in the mix set, a percentage of less than 8-10%, there’s a probability that it won’t run at all."
"When it finds a problem with response times, it doesn't specify exactly where the problem actually is."
"Technical support is slow and wastes a lot of time, so it needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s price is considerably high."
"It is expensive compared to other tools."
"It is neither costly nor cheap. It is not too high and not too low. I know the price of other tools, and LoadRunner Cloud's price is in the medium range."
"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."
"It's a very expensive solution"
"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."
"It costs $8,600 yearly and we have the Cloud, which is an additional $800. Our perpetual license is $800 and then the Cloud functionality with our 500 users is the $8,600."
"We purchased a license for two years."
