HCL AppScan vs IBM Rational Performance Tester comparison

"We are now deploying less defects to production."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The UI was very intuitive."

"It was easy to set up."

"Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language."

"The solution is cheap."

"Technical support is helpful."

"This solution saves us time due to the low number of false positives detected."

"Technical support is very good. I'm very satisfied with the assistance we've received so far."

"It can support both web applications and mobile applications, and in certain cases, it can also support testing of desktop applications or software-based applications. You can write web applications, mobile applications, and software-based applications."

"In future releases, I would like to see more aggressive reports. I would also like to see less false positives."

"The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."

"The product has some technical limitations."

"The dashboard, for AppScan or the Fortified fast tool, which we use needs to be improved."

"I would love to see more containers. Many of the tools are great, they require an amount of configuration, setup and infrastructure. If most the applications were in a container, I think everything would be a little bit faster, because all our clients are now using containers."

"The solution's scalability can be a matter of concern because one license runs on one machine only."

"The solution could improve by having a mobile version."

"They could add a software component analysis tool."

"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."

"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."

"The product is moderately priced, though it's an investment due to extensive code analysis needs."

"AppScan is a little bit expensive. IBM needs to work a little bit on the pricing model, decreasing the license cost."

"The solution is moderately priced."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high. HCL AppScan is an expensive tool."

"The solution is cheap."

"Our clients are willing to pay the extra money. It is expensive."

"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten. The product's pricing is expensive compared to the features that they offer."

"The price is very expensive."

"It is much cheaper than Micro Focus LoadRunner. We need perpetual licenses. Support is included in the first sale. After that, you need to renew support every year."
