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.

Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution solves my needs and provides everything required to carry out performance load testing."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"The user interface is fine."
"The most valuable part of the product is the way you can scale the basic testing easily."
"We can measure metrics like hits per second and detect deviations or issues through graphs. We can filter out response times based on timings and identify spikes in the database or AWS reports."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"The solution offers helpful guidelines and has good documentation."
"It has offered me some reliability against other products, like JMeter or some other tools."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"The object repository is the most valuable feature, as different elements can be identified and reutilized through the repository across other scripts, and the product has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
 

Cons

"Running virtual users especially with a huge number is a very challenging task. The load generators may over utilize its resources (CPU/ memory) due to improper default configurations, or improper use of LoadRunner and Performance Center."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"The initial setup was complex, but we were helped every step of the way by our NRCE (Named Response Center Engineer)."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"The price has skyrocketed, and to stay competitive, they need to reduce the licensing costs."
"Reporting should be simpler in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise."
"I'd like to see a more shared data repository. They have their costs up."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"We have not seen a return on investment yet."
"The first time I customized the solution, it was quite challenging."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"We got an 80 percent discount for the product. It was cost-effective, but licenses tend to get expensive."
"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."
"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."
"ROI is 200%."
"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
