OpenText LoadRunner Cloud vs Oracle Application Testing Suite comparison

"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."

"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."

"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."

"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."

"The fact that the solution supports multiple protocols such as open source, VuGen, TruWeb, TruClient, and SAP is very important because these protocols help us to concentrate on what is really needed to produce performance tests. If something is not supported, you have to use other tools or find other ways of assimilating loads."

"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."

"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The solution is scalable."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"The product must provide agents to monitor servers."

"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."

"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."

"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."

"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."

"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."

"Some improvements can be made to the solution's user interface"

"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"The pricing for OpenText LoadRunner Cloud is average."

"There is no monthly or yearly cost but rather, the fees are based on the amount of traffic that you use."

"Pricing is dependent on what you're referring to. If you're talking about the cloud, it's likely competitive. However, if you're talking about the on-premise version, professional or enterprise licenses are required. Prices are on the high side. They are not cheap."

"The solution is expensive."

"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
