Shyam_Prasad - PeerSpot reviewer
AVP - Testing & QA at Laminaar Aviation
Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability
Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used. Secondly, we have a very limited resource pool that uses this tool in India. So, finding resources familiar with Eggplant in India is challenging due to lack of affiliation programs and so on.
AnantJoshi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director Intelligent Automation at Truglobal
Performance testing has delivered diverse global retail loads and generates clear diagnostic reports
I did not notice any weak points or downsides in Tricentis NeoLoad except for the cost. Everything else is good with the tool. When I consider that service customers have to pay the cost for the load generation, I find that the cost increases, especially when I want to generate a load for a global customer with different loads in different regions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's been a revelation to us in terms of its ability to assist us in exploratory testing and to integrate with our current model-driven architecture."
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"We've been really fortunate in that we've had virtually zero downtime in all the time we've been using Eggplant."
"Customer Service: Excellent and very personal."
"What I appreciate about Tricentis NeoLoad is that it excels at generating different kinds of loads."
"The reporting features are great."
"We appreciate that this solution is very user-friendly, even if the user does not have a lot of protocol knowledge and experience."
"Customer support is excellent, with a very quick turn around time for any question asked."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"The test cases are quite easy to build and to maintain. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us. It's the reason why they changed from JMeter to NeoLoad."
"We are able to use NeoLoad to quickly expand performance testing to all critical business applications and address some key performance issues."
"The GUI based scripting is a huge time saver for us since we don’t have a dedicated performance team yet, as I can create scripts quickly and get tests going."
 

Cons

"One area I can think of to improve is the usability of the reports that we get."
"Bugs occur fairly frequently, but they are very responsive in identifying them and scheduling them for fixes in future releases."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"The product is expensive."
"Regular and strong support has to be made available by Tricentis during the solution's implementation and initial setup."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"For scalability, I can rate Tricentis NeoLoad around three, and I feel it is a third party."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"An area for improvement in Tricentis NeoLoad is its price, as it has a hefty price tag."
"I also ran into installation issues with NeoLoad when the installation never completed."
"The support needs to be improved, especially when you are looking for a quick turnaround because of the fast-paced environment we work in."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
"The pricing is competitive in India."
"The licensing cost is less compared to other licensing performance testing tools."
"The tool's pricing is somewhat higher than licensed tools like LoadRunner. The approximate cost is around $25,000. There are no additional charges for maintenance or support. Everything is included in the package we have."
"Tricentis NeoLoad price is a benefit of using this tool, it is less expensive than some of the other solutions."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Tricentis NeoLoad's pricing a seven out of ten."
"From a licensing cost perspective, I rate the product an eight out of ten since it is a cheap solution that looks costly for certain areas."
"When compared to LoadRunner, NeoLoad has less costs. Compared to that, it's somehow affordable."
"We used a 60-day trial with ten hours of work per month."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
