OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) Reviews

Using multiple controllers and using random LG’s for different executions with IP spoofing really helps to simulate realistic scenarios.

Previously, we had different physical machines for each controller, and then we shifted to Performance Center. It allows users to log into a single instance and to manage all other controllers from there.

I think Stormrunner is the best example of a cloud based solution, so it may be that Performance Center can have a better, richer, and faster UI.

I've used it for one year.

I started with HP products.

It was a bit complex in terms of administration but we got help from technical people.

I was not completely involved in implementation, so I don’t have much information on this.

I think HP has a straightforward approach.

• Web interface, which can be used by multiple users from multiple locations
• Groups distribution
• Good for batch and timely executions
• Results in easier readable format
• Single license can be used optimally in different time zones for 300% ROI
• Multiple projects execution
• Time slot bookings for controller
• Optimal use of Load generator/injectors

Maximum utilization of controller as we operate from India, UK and US in different time zones.

Deletion of collating test results by admin access only.

LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters.

LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible.

I've been using LoadRunner Enterprise for five to six years.

LoadRunner Enterprise is very stable.

LoadRunner Enterprise is scalable.

Micro Focus' technical support is fast and efficient.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

I would give LoadRunner Enterprise a rating of nine out of ten.

We have used Performance Center for Java and .NET applications performance testing with a user load of 2000 users.

It has improved our organizational performance. We are delivering fine performance results and performance recommendations using Performance Center.

• Analysis of results
• Schedule of test
• We can book load generators.
• We can choose LGs based on the required configuration. 
• IP Spoofing can be done using Performance Center.

• Monitoring tools which are available in Performance Center.
• More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test. 
• Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format.

• Ability to execute performance tests
• Live-screen display of test load runs
• Generation of performance test reports
• Live server-side performance metrics

It has contributed greatly to the performance/stress testing of our application prior to going live and deployment. It gives our project teams a level of comfort and a baseline idea of how the performance of our application will be after going into production.

The UI should be improved in the next version.

Only very rarely does it do so, but there have been issues with its host going into non-operational status.

The level of support from HP is average.

I have not used any alternative to this product.

Initial set-up of the product was a little bit complex, and setting up the servers was little difficult.

We used a vendor team.

ROI is excellent.

It's a little expensive. The pricing is based on on the number of virtual user licenses.

I would say that it is a great investment for your organization. Going forward, HP is going to implement many impressive new features in this software.

The most valuable feature is the enterprise card. It allows us to use our central software for all our testers who are located worldwide.

It's a rather complex product. There are always things that could be better, such as new protocols that allow for more efficient testing and sharing of data across our teams.

It needs to be able to inform us what our current situation is, that is, what version we're on, etc. This is important because we do reinstalls and upgrades once a year, so that information is still valid for us each time we do that.

We have been using it for six years.

The stability is pretty good.

It's the right size for us right now for our purposes and we will not grow out of it any time soon. So scalability is not relevant at this time.

When you initially file a support case, it's difficult because they ask you many technical question to assess the problem. This takes a long time. I think there should be a better way for HP to know what the situation is so that you don't have to think about it for half a day.

The initial setup was OK, wasn't too complex.

We worked out the complexities ourselves.

I've looked, but I haven't found any alternatives -- including web-based applications -- that are better than Performance Center.

It's a very capable solution and I highly recommend it.

This solution is used for performance testing.

The most valuable features are the multiple schedule and load setup preferences in a test scenario. It is also flexible in scalability.

We encountered cookie banner issues when opening LRE.

I have been using this solution for six years.

It is stable.

The scalability is good.

I would definitely recommend LoadRunner for performance testing of any application/system with a wide variety of protocols. It's a great tool for capturing performance bottlenecks and its commendable analysis and reporting.

I would rate it nine out of ten
