PS Peter Skintges QC Test Manager Chose LoadRunner Professional It was faster to script in HP LoadRunner than in JMeter.

User Testimonials
	NetStorm	OpenText LoadRunner Professional
Likelihood to Recommend	[NetStorm] is well suited for an enterprise use, we are smaller business and it is not as suitable but we still use it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Micro Focus LoadRunner is good for scripting and running a load test, but should be providing better customer service in case of user facing any issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Mayank Thirani Research Assistant Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Anil Kumar Moka Senior QA Lead and Automation Consultant Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
