Shyam_Prasad - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
RangaReddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintenance will be easy, pretty straightforward to learn and flexible
I really didn't work on the cloud-based [version]. NeoLoad still has a cloud [offering], and it has pretty good integration. I heard that it's possible to integrate with JMeter as a tool as well. Maybe I could suggest: I wanted to know more about the integration with DevOps for performance testing. The automatic integration process – how can we run the scripts automatically within a CI/CD pipeline? So maybe I wanted to know how to integrate with DevOps, actually. I'm not sure whether that option is there with the tool or not. In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad.

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 a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"Simple capturing of dynamic variables and simple scripting."
"Learning-wise, it's pretty straightforward and flexible because if the person has little knowledge of performance testing and the process, they can definitely easily grab the knowledge from NeoLoad."
"The reporting features are great."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"LoadRunner offers a full protocol, whereas, with this product, only a few of the protocols are supported - not all."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its price, as it has a hefty price tag."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"We would like NeoLoad to be able to support more protocols. Testing can also be a little tricky at times."
"There is room for improvement with the support and community documentation as it can be difficult to find answers to questions quickly."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
 

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."
"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 is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
"The vendor offers flexible licensing options"
"The solution is quite expensive."
"When compared to LoadRunner, NeoLoad has less costs. Compared to that, it's somehow affordable."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
"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."
