Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability

Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used. Secondly, we have a very limited resource pool that uses this tool in India. So, finding resources familiar with Eggplant in India is challenging due to lack of affiliation programs and so on.

Ability to test almost every tool in the companies I enter and performs well in a distributed environment

It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems. In real time, when they ask for 5,000 or 10,000 concurrent users, I have to provision a lot of virtual machines to define this load. Then there are situations with certain platforms, especially document management platforms, where the technology is so weird that normal LoadRunner protocols cannot detect it. So, in that case, I have to use that special TruClient protocol. I have to use the TruClient protocol, which actually clicks on the object. Despite the SQL technology, I can still create a script and test for performance. So what I would appreciate a lot is if this protocol would require less resources on a normal virtual machine. I can use fewer concurrent users with TruClient protocols as opposed to almost one hundred with HTTP/HTML. As opposed to many more with HTTP/HTML from, let's say, JMeter. So, optimization at that level for resource consumption by OpenText would be much appreciated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."

"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."

"We find the solution stable and scalable."

"It is mostly user-friendly and usable."

"The user interface is fine."

"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users."

"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."

"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."

"We can book load generators."

"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."

"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."

Cons

"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."

"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."

"Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format."

"Many of my customers have had to switch to different tools due to the cost of LoadRunner, despite its advantages, leading them to alternatives like JMeter and RPT."

"The product's scalability must be improved."

"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."

"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."

"OpenText needs to improve in terms of support. With the same support plan but when the product was owned by HP, support was more responsive and better coordinated."

"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."

"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."

"The pricing is competitive in India."

"This solution can be expensive."

"The price is a bit too high."

"They have a much more practical pricing model now."

"It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."

"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."

"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."

"The tool is very expensive."

"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."
