Great tool but very bulky and incomplete

  • February 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Conversion to monitoring very useful with very intuitive UI.
Easy to monitor and implement tests across different machines.
Also very easy to setup new machines and add to monitoring.
Easy to configure changes to schedule or SLA to existing monitoring.
Easy to customize notifications based on location, user, transaction, or other filters,
What do you dislike about the product?
Support can be lacking and unresponsive not an open schedule.
In constant need of upgrades/patching.
Support for old versions is lacking and constantly pushed in different directions when the tool is not meeting the needs.
The inability to run custom code from a jar file for monitoring items not specific to a web based protocol and focused on for example oracle monitoring needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring Issues
Global networking issues
Maintenance of remote machines in other countries
Problems with networks in other countries using performance reporting from load runner we are able to justify increased bandwidth in other countries. After implementing those changes we are able to prove the need was actually needed and improvement of the application in a specific location. Allowed easy production support and root cause analysis including error logs from the system in the email notifications. Also the ability to drill down on an alert or bad performance from specific transactions or database queries in the system narrow down areas of improvement or company focus on a certain area to improve and work with the team to resolve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure this is compatible with your apps before considering bringing on the tool.

LoadRunner great for performance and load testing

What do you like best about the product?
LoadRunner is a wonderful and powerful tool with which the workload of various business processes can be emulated to determine expectations. It provides the ability to determine how a system will perform before going live. Once the bottlenecks are identified, they can be addressed. Also, when expectations are known, then they can be managed for when real users are on the system
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is not much to dislike regarding LoadRunner.
The only thing to maybe dislike is the licensing structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a powerful tool with which you can determine where bottlenecks are and be able to address them accordingly in order to provide expectations. It provides the ability to determine how a system will perform before going live.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to determine how a system will work before going live, then LoadRunner is the tool to use

The workhorse of performance testing tools

  • March 28, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
versatility, support, ease of use, cloud support
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely expensive, upgrades are a nightmare, complicated installation procedure. No built in monitoring solution. Everything has to be purchased and implemented separately leading to a lot of delays and additional costs. Support, though good is extremely expensive especially if you need 24 x 7 support. Administrators must be experts, else installation, upgrades and regular maintenance will be a very painful task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By implementing HP LoadRunner and by including performance testing as part of the sdlc, we are able to find potential issues before they occur. By being able to use cloud hosted load generators, we are also able to get a feel of how external users tend to experience the product
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Though there are several tools available in the market for load / performance testing, LoadRunner has established a niche market for itself thanks to the trust that customers have established with the sort of detailed that it has to offer. LoadRunner also is able to integrate with other HP Tools (SiteScope, ALM, Performance Center to name a few) as well as non-HP tools such as DynaTrace (albeit with a little bit of coding experience)! LoadRunner also has Cloud support with HP Helion and Amazon AWS. For people who do not want to spend a lot on LoadRunner, there is a community edition that is available for free. Users can also look at StormRunner which is similar, but not as versatile as LoadRunner is for first time use since the cost is less than a 10th of what LoadRunner is!
