Open-source and flexible but needs client-side scripting
It's an open-source tool and supports a lot of plugins and custom code, which allows integration with other tools like Azure and AWS. Also, the APIs tested with SoapUI can be directly used, avoiding the need to create collections like in Postman. The client-side scripting, if incorporated, would provide a complete solution for performance tests. It can handle user distribution and transaction throughput distribution effectively.

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

"he initial deployment process is easy."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"It has helped improve productivity and functionality."
"ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface."
"It is a very good and handy product, there are so many features, and it is getting more popular day by day."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"NeoLoad offers better reporting than most competing tools. It is effortless to analyze and measure the reported data. It's also simple to generate a report that most people can read and management can understand. NeoLoad helps you figure out the main issues inside the application."
"It provides easy mobile performance testing solution for our customers."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"We've gotten 20% increase in tests-per-sprint and 35% decrease in time taken to create a script, and we also have cost savings of over one million dollars annually."
"The licensing model is very flexible which supports a broad range of budgets, from small projects to enterprise-level setups."
"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."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
 

Cons

"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
"The client-side scripting mostly isn't needed for performance testing, however, if implemented, it would enhance the tool."
"The client-side scripting mostly isn't needed for performance testing, however, if implemented, it would enhance the tool."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
"I'm not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"This solution could be improved by offering artificial AI testing in addition to API testing. For example, we would like to have machine learning testing because when test applications, manual work could be completed automatically using this functionality."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"Some users may find NeoLoad too technical, while other users may prefer a scripting language instead of a UI with figures and forms they have to fill in."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"It would be nice if this could be cheaper."
"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."
"It's straightforward to install and configure, but complex to convert scripts from a previous product to work in NeoLoad."
"The product keeps its pace with the updates, however I would like them to offer online advance training certification and better support material."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its integration with third-party tools because, at the moment, it's a bit complicated. Per Tricentis, you can integrate Tricentis NeoLoad with different monitoring tools such as Dynatrace and New Relic, but that requires installing an additional tool to make that integration happen, rather than being able to pull in Tricentis NeoLoad from the different tools and servers, and make integration simpler and easier."
"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the terminal emulation mainframe. It is not able to use the low code or no code option. You have to code it yourself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We find the cost to be affordable."
"This solution operates on a licence basis and the usage and cost varies according to the use case. It is more expensive if you include access to the learning center. On average it costs approximately 800 Euros."
"ReadyAPI Performance’s pricing is reasonable."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"NeoLoad is cheaper compared to other solutions. There are no additional licensing fees."
"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."
"Pricing for Tricentis NeoLoad could be cheaper because, at the moment, it's expensive. For a year, the solution cost us a lot of money, in particular, more than $50,000."
"When compared to LoadRunner, NeoLoad has less costs. Compared to that, it's somehow affordable."
"I'd rate it a seven out of ten in terms of pricing"
"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."
"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."
