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.

Positive experience with seamless setup and responsive support but pricing and version compatibility need improvement
I'm not ready to share what areas of Tricentis NeoLoad have room for improvement now. The price could be more friendly, and it was impossible to continue using the same version of Tricentis NeoLoad, as we were forced to move to the next version. Sometimes there were compatibility problems, and that was a major problem with backward compatibility issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."
"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"It helped in running performance testing cycles and identifying the bottlenecks of the application, helping our clients to run their application successfully and smoothly."
"Compared to support at our previous product, they're more responsive and they're more knowledgeable."
"NeoLoad is more user-friendly than HPE LoadRunner."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"If I have to create a script in LoadRunner, it usually takes around six hours, but if I do the same thing in Neotys, it usually takes around one and a half hours to complete everything."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"The GUI based scripting is a huge time saver for us since we don’t have a dedicated performance team yet, as I can create scripts quickly and get tests going."
"I feel that the codeless part, the dynamic value capture part is quite easy in NeoLoad compared to other tools."
"I particularly like Neoload’s ease of use, built in monitoring and their extensive library of wireless devices and protocols."
 

Cons

"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."
"It does not provide easy diagnostics to ascertain end to end transaction monitoring."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."
"OATS has some promising features that frankly we wish we could utilize, but so far we haven’t had much luck doing so."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."
"Almost everything about NewLoad looks good, but I would like to have an indication of the variables for error messages appearing in the error tab."
"The ability to show transactions per second during the test run is missing; currently, we have to eyeball the TPS using the graph."
"The UI lacks sufficient object rendering."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"Analysis can be further improved. I have been using LoadRunner analysis and it has been a very powerful tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools."
"From a licensing cost perspective, I rate the product an eight out of ten since it is a cheap solution that looks costly for certain areas."
"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"The licensing for this solution is renewable yearly, and covers all available features and technical support."
