Ensures high performance and adaptability while providing room for improved analytics and support
The analytics and reporting features can be improved, though they are good enough. If you have expertise, you can manage with what is included. However, it could be much better, especially with modern AI capabilities. When considering areas for improvement in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), there is a need for automated analysis and code-level support.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's the tool for performance testing, and it's definitely the industry leader that I've been using for years."
"What I like most in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the comparison between two different exhibitions which gives value to my company. I also like that the solution is user-friendly, especially in terms of making specific changes. For example, in the past, you can't see the changes when you upload scripts into the Performance Center, but now, it has that visibility, so whenever you want, you can change the script in the Performance Center. I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting. The solution also has the latest features, for example, networkability, where it can, within the UI, follow the waterfall model. You can use the insights in the Performance Center of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise to address or test URLs that usually take up much time."
"I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."
"I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"The most valuable aspect of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the overall support it has for a lot of different applications and defined domains."
"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."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
"The solution is scalable."
"The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
 

Cons

"Reports from Performance Center need to be improved."
"It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems."
"Why they use other tools, that's where I would say there's some poly-functionality that has to be improved in the product."
"The migration from LoadRunner to Performance Center was not as smooth as I would have liked."
"The previous versions were pretty unstable, but that's been fixed now."
"Communication between load testing hosts and components is very complex and sometimes fragile, making manual intervention still too often necessary should an anomaly occur during testing."
"We are expecting more flexible to use Jenkins in continuous integration going forward."
"The solution is a very expensive tool when compared with other tools."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
"I would like to see better dashboards."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."
"OTM Test Report – We needed to develop custom reports as there is less flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got an 80 percent discount for the product. It was cost-effective, but licenses tend to get expensive."
"The solution should decrease its price."
"It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."
"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."
"The price is a bit too high."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
