Performance Architect at Kohl's
Has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase
NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage. NetStorm has monitoring capabilities integrated into it to see the performance of components while the test is in the running phase. One more great functionality is the ability to control the load runtime by increasing or decreasing the virtual users or pausing the users to keep on repeating the transactions without exiting.

Performance testing has supported web app peak analysis but needs better setup and smarter scripting
Regarding points for improvement for OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), I see that features are not being fully developed yet. If OpenText could think about bringing AI features into the tool, it could save maximum time in scripting or make scripting effortless, particularly in correlation, which is where the complexity involved in script development exists. If any AI features could replace or eliminate more manual work on the correlation part, that is where we could see a game-changing improvement for the tool. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) can be positioned very well in the market. However, I see that the basic correlations are only being handled by the autocorrelation engine in the LoadRunner tool, and I would expect a few improvements to handle even complex correlation problems so that the tool can be appropriately positioned compared to their peers.

Pros

"NetStorm can generate high load with a single machine. Its Runlogic feature is very useful to send load to cover each and every flow of the application. NetStorm gives the feasibility of generating load with multiple load arrival models helping components to be tested based on its usage."
"NetStorm had made Kohls.com very stable in the ATG platform as well as a cloud platform that Kohls didn't have any issues during the major holiday season like Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday."
"Over the past decade, the product team has continued working on improving and enhancing their tools."
"Designs dynamic scripts and scenarios, as per our requirements, which is one the most important feature available in NetStorm. It helps us to do performance testing of our application in a periodic way."
"This tool helps to focus on real-time transactions that occur at a very high rate."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"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 and unexpected loads."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"Provides the performance of load test applications and reliably on good reporting."
"When it comes to delivering enterprise-level testing capabilities, this solution is really good."
"Previously, we had different physical machines for each controller, and then we shifted to Performance Center, which allows users to log into a single instance and manage all other controllers from there."
"The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing."
 

Cons

"NetStorm is a powerful tool but needs more information to be available on the Internet and Youtube on how to use it."
"In the next release, we are looking for a JS instrumentation feature that would be helpful in identifying client-side issues at an early stage, or during testing."
"Need to add or support some more APIs in the Script Manager window."
"The user interface had to be improved for the product. Its user interface should be made simple and easy to customize as per user needs."
"Why they use other tools, that's where I would say there's some poly-functionality that has to be improved in the product."
"The solution is expensive."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"Running virtual users especially with a huge number is a very challenging task. The load generators may over utilize its resources (CPU/ memory) due to improper default configurations, or improper use of LoadRunner and Performance Center."
"Regarding OpenText technical support, I find it very pathetic."
"I think some enhanced support, be it online or documentation, would be appreciated."
"The solution is expensive."
"Features in the Web UI should be enhanced. We should be able to do everything from the Web UI without ever needing to download the old ActiveX ALM UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NetStorm is priced well when compared to many well-known tools."
"They have a much more practical pricing model now."
"The price of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise could improve, it is expensive."
"I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
"It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
"There is an ROI. What LoadRunner does, is it prevents failures when there are many, many concurrent users in the systems of a company."
"We are content with the pricing and find it to be reasonable in terms of value for money."
"The prices would differ depending on the number of licenses you need. I wouldn't maybe compare it to any other tools. I rate the price as seven out of ten."
"We got an 80 percent discount for the product. It was cost-effective, but licenses tend to get expensive."
