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.

IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process but the reporting is complicated
You pay for the number of users that you're going to be utilizing. In order to scale up, you would have to pay for additional users, but for our use case, we're able to scale fairly easily. We have a license for 500, but we're using half of that for our initial workflow. For maintenance, as far as I'm aware, there's only one person really working on the maintenance of it and we only really have one user consistently using the software. He's a QA person. We don't have any plans to increase our usage. Even though we've had it for a while, we have a major push to start utilizing it more. I imagine we'll probably be using it and utilizing it across our QA team in the next year. We're in the process of determining whether we're going to keep it or not due to the fact that it is so expensive. That's why I've been researching alternatives for the RadView.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It helps us to be confident and to be aware of where issues are before we release a product to a wider audience."
"ALM centralizes everything, allowing you to see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, whether you have mapped all your requirements, and to produce metrics fairly easily for your line management and higher, making it far better than people using Excel spreadsheets."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"If it is in the airline industry, I would definitely suggest to them, "Okay, this is a perfect product because of the number of protocols it supports," because we looked at other open source software and we couldn't find a product which matches Performance Center, which supports so many protocols."
"It is used to empower our organisation in assisting customers, addressing their concerns, finding solutions, and providing value, thus making it possible to put customer success first, and in the process, focus on the business."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis tool; it enables me to make a good, detailed analysis after a test run."
"The analytics pack is probably one of the most powerful tools that I've seen."
"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."
"The solution is simple and useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting; it is interesting, intuitive, and we can do some parameterization."
"The tool itself is very viable for us."
"Technical support has been excellent, responsive, and helpful in trying to work through issues and questions."
"The most valuable aspect is that the IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process."
"The ability to conceptualize the experience for users is great, the price as the bang for your buck is good, the user interface is quite user friendly, and the graphics make it easy to follow and are easy to identify."
 

Cons

"It was a bit complex in terms of administration but we got help from technical people."
"The price has skyrocketed, and to stay competitive, they need to reduce the licensing costs."
"The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
"From time to time, we encounter bugs that are unexpected from a 20-plus years old solution."
"I think the integrations could be a little bit more slick. The integration with third-party tools needs to be stepped up a little bit."
"The initial setup was complex, but we were helped every step of the way by our NRCE (Named Response Center Engineer)."
"A room for improvement in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is that it should take multiple exhibitions for a particular scenario and have automatic trending for that. This will be a very useful feature that lets users look into how many exhibitions happened for the scenario and their performance, and you should be able to see the data within the Performance Center dashboard. For example, there's one scenario I'm focusing on multiple times in a month, and if I check five times, there's no way for me to see the trend and find out how it went with those five exhibitions. It would be great if the Performance Center has a view of all five exhibitions, particularly transaction by transaction, and how they happened. If Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise shows you the time trends, information about one exhibition to another, and how each performed, it'll be an immense feature, and that should be visible to every user. Reporting should be simpler in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise. If I did a scenario with one exhibition now, and I did that scenario again, then I should be able to schedule that scenario for the exhibition, and if that scenario is executed multiple times, there should be the option to turn it into a single view that shows you all the transactions, how the performance was, what the trend graph is for a particular time, etc."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"I would like to be able to edit a scenario instead of re-recording a scenario."
"We have had a lot of trouble with this solution, and it is actually adapted to our application."
"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."
"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."
"We did have an issue with some of the script working incorrectly in our higher environments."
"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."
"There is no analytical dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."
"ROI is 200%."
"The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
"The solution should decrease its price."
"The prices would differ depending on the number of licenses you need. I wouldn't maybe compare it to any other tools. I rate the price as seven out of ten."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."
"We purchased a license for two years."
"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."
