Login Enterprise vs. OpenText LoadRunner Professional

Login Enterprise is well suited for monitoring server status and customer's performance on a specific server that its tracking. Do not expect easy learning curve as documentation could take time to read through and distinguish which is good and bad. Overall, it's a great product for server monitoring but only if enough resourced is provided for it.

• Support of multiple protocols like HTTP, RDP, Citrix, SAP, Oracle Database 12c, AJAX Tru Client, SOAP-based calls and others which is why it is used widely in our organization as we are using various applications in an industry for different usage.
• Supporting the mobile agents which means it is not only used for web applications but also for mobile applications.
• Latest version of HP LoadRunner makes the scripting easy by replacing dynamic changes in the script using correlation parameters. This means less coding and we can focus on major issues if needed.
• Controller enhancements by specifying the cloud provider like Digital Ocean. We can provision our load generators with Amazon EC2, DigitalOcean and others.
• Analysis provides a nice HTML report on the test executed with all the necessary metrics. We can simply put more analysis if needed and it will be automatically embedded in an HTML report.

• Monitoring tools like SiteScope, AppDynamics should be used apart from HP Performance Center. Would be great if the tool can give good monitoring on app and db servers.
• As the load goes high, the cost increases. In the open source world, it's not a bad idea to consider the licensing cost.

Customer service is not that great. It's difficult to get hold of someone if an issue is supposed to be addressed on an urgent basis. No online chat service readily available.
