Straightforward to install with the ability to add multiple assertions but the price is too high
It is really not so hard to install. If we download the latest version from Google or somewhere else, we can install it easily. The license installation is simple, so I don't think it's difficult to install. We have about 30 people that can be involved in a deployment. How long it takes to deploy the product depends on if we have small use cases for execution. In that case, it takes less time. However, for huge bulk data, where we are using bulk data and huge amounts of data, take more time for deployment and execution. We do the executions and deployments on a weekly basis. We get the reporting software and use report portals. If there is anything for us to do when we get the report, we only fix the glitches there. Therefore, there is some ongoing maintenance and tasks to handle once it is set up.

Offers good user interface, customization and I like how it way it correlates, monitors, and integrates with the user interface
I didn't like much of the support that you get from the Tricentis group unless it was after it integrated with Tricentis; the support is not that good. But earlier, the support was actually very wonderful. I started using NeoLoad right from 2011. So, there is room for improvement in customer service and support. It requires a lot of justification and a lot of emails that you need to send back and forth. But earlier, when I was working with Siemens, the integration of the NeoLoad team and Siemens team was very good, and the support was excellent. As soon as you raised a ticket, we had very good support, but that changed after Tricentis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"he initial deployment process is easy."
"ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface."
"It stores good reports, as in, improved reports if compared with the SoapUI. It also has in-built security. You just need to switch and check the security testing. My team has never used it, but I know ReadyAPI provides those facilities as well."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"We can scale."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"The Frameworks feature is valuable. NeoLoad Web and the API are also valuable. It provides API support."
"The stability is okay."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"The most useful aspect of Tricentis NeoLoad was for the web."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"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 solution's setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"This solution could be improved by offering artificial AI testing in addition to API testing. For example, we would like to have machine learning testing because when test applications, manual work could be completed automatically using this functionality."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
"It is easier to comprehend the analysis on its on-premise setup but not on its on-cloud setup."
"The debugging part of Tricentis NeoLoad takes time."
"If one person opens any script, another person won't be able to work on it simultaneously. If they can improve that feature, it would be helpful for everyone. I found that incorporating all the scripts into a single project was the challenging part. This is because we are working on different domains—I'm on one domain, and others are on another. We need to handle all these scripts cautiously."
"The overall stability of the GUI should be improved. The GUI component is not stable enough. We have observed crashes several times."
"Connecting with the solution's technical support can be time-consuming. The turnaround time for a ticket raised is around 72 hours, which becomes an issue when working on a huge project in our company."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
"The solution can be improved by introducing a secure testing feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We find the cost to be affordable."
"This solution operates on a licence basis and the usage and cost varies according to the use case. It is more expensive if you include access to the learning center. On average it costs approximately 800 Euros."
"ReadyAPI Performance’s pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing for this solution is renewable yearly, and covers all available features and technical support."
"I'd rate it a seven out of ten in terms of pricing"
"Tricentis NeoLoad is much cheaper compared to other tools like LoadRunner."
"The pricing is fair for high-volume licensing."
"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."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."
