OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) Reviews

• Ability to execute performance tests
• Live-screen display of test load runs
• Generation of performance test reports
• Live server-side performance metrics

It has contributed greatly to the performance/stress testing of our application prior to going live and deployment. It gives our project teams a level of comfort and a baseline idea of how the performance of our application will be after going into production.

The UI should be improved in the next version.

Only very rarely does it do so, but there have been issues with its host going into non-operational status.

The level of support from HP is average.

I have not used any alternative to this product.

Initial set-up of the product was a little bit complex, and setting up the servers was little difficult.

We used a vendor team.

ROI is excellent.

It's a little expensive. The pricing is based on on the number of virtual user licenses.

I would say that it is a great investment for your organization. Going forward, HP is going to implement many impressive new features in this software.

The most valuable feature is the analysis tool. It enables me to make a good, detailed analysis after a test run.

On a day-to-day basis, we're working very tight with developers. We use this tool to:

• Outline the details in our systems on the test
• Give feedback to our developers and they do changes
• Test again

It's really good

It would be nice if the Citrix protocol could be updated.

Stability is pretty good. We only had a few glitches over the past few years.

It seems to be scalable. In our part of Jefferson Boeing, we are about 5000 people.

I haven’t needed to use technical support.

I was not involved in the initial setup and I have no idea how it went. We're not allowed to fiddle around with installations.

The most valuable feature is the enterprise card. It allows us to use our central software for all our testers who are located worldwide.

It's a rather complex product. There are always things that could be better, such as new protocols that allow for more efficient testing and sharing of data across our teams.

It needs to be able to inform us what our current situation is, that is, what version we're on, etc. This is important because we do reinstalls and upgrades once a year, so that information is still valid for us each time we do that.

We have been using it for six years.

The stability is pretty good.

It's the right size for us right now for our purposes and we will not grow out of it any time soon. So scalability is not relevant at this time.

When you initially file a support case, it's difficult because they ask you many technical question to assess the problem. This takes a long time. I think there should be a better way for HP to know what the situation is so that you don't have to think about it for half a day.

The initial setup was OK, wasn't too complex.

We worked out the complexities ourselves.

I've looked, but I haven't found any alternatives -- including web-based applications -- that are better than Performance Center.

It's a very capable solution and I highly recommend it.

It isn't a very complex product to use. That's what I liked about it.

My organization was not using any other product so I won't be able to compare it to others, but this product was really helpful in providing us the the detailed analysis of the tests that we conducted.

I think some enhanced support, be it online or documentation, would be appreciated.

I used it for about a year, and v12 for a few days.

I didn't face any major issues.

7.5/10.

I didn't have the chance to use any other product.

I believe that the setup was quite easy as I was able to proceed without facing any hurdles. The interface was pretty easy and helpful.

We used a vendor team.

Even though I was a beginner, I was at ease while using this product but I believe the documentation provided alongside it could be improved. It is a great product that provides one with an extensive amount of functionality.

Even if the protocol and API doesn't cover your need, you can always find a solution. That means you can always handle any situation with a piece of code, whatever the target application is.

For me, it's the best product for a performance team covering a large range of technologies and constraints.

The controller and analysis engine are a piece of cake, configuring the scenario and gathering results are the most important to me.

From my 15 years experience, I measure that I spend only 5% of my time to script, other tasks are more consuming: understanding the business process, making the dataset relevant and reliable with workflow (with VTS for instance which is very great), finding how and what to measure and so on.

Some features could sometimes disappear without reason. It's extremely recommended to take time to evaluates newer versions before upgrading.

It gives us a run history of the tests we've planned and executed.

We are able to connect and run tests from different locations with this tool.

Storing the results of our tests requires the use of a lot of memory in our data center.

I've used it for three years.

No issues encountered.

I have mixed feelings about HP technical support. A few technicians know what they are doing, but the majority don’t.

No previous solution was used.

We implemented it with our in-house, but we used the help desk during the entire process of implementation. Their help desk needs to know more about their own tools.

No other options were looked at.

I like the tool.

• Integrated Infrastructure
• Cloud load generators
• Analysis

• Enterprise-level load tests
• Great analysis module for results

• Backend integration
• Performance
• UI improvement
• Integration with third-party tools

I've used it for the last seven to eight years.

Stability has some room for improvement.

It needs improvement.

We previously used a different enterprise level product.

Complex in installation with many server/mc configurations.

We did it in-house with help from tech support.

The price is quite high. It also has expensive licenses, and product support.

• Analyzer
• Performance Center

It gives you a wide-ranging view on performance bottlenecks, from CPU to memory to network etc. This helps identify possible bottlenecks in the production environment, as well as the expected/unexpected loads.

Mobile testing - integrate it with a mobile UI to automate scripts and run it concurrently.

I've used it for five years alongside HP LoadRunner v9.0 to v11.50, and HP UFT.

No issues encountered, but an upgraded patch is required.

7/10. Since 70% of the market share is HP, it is very common, and tough, to reach them for support. The estimated wait time is always at least 20 minutes.

No previous solution was used.

It’s fairly easy and straightforward. With the current version, 12.0 and above, it looks and feels complicated, and not user friendly to implement.

Through a vendor team.

The price has skyrocketed, and to stay competitive, they need to reduce the licensing costs.
