What do you dislike about OpenText Professional Performance Engineering?

* Sometimes there are small bugs in the VuGen script error where it throws compilation errors first time and then you compile the same and it works.

* Some people think it's hard to learn, but becoming a senior expert in Performance Testing takes a lot of experience, a single tool does not make you an expert.

* In some projects, they want to use Open Source software instead to save money, but Loadrunner now comes with a community edition which you can use, there can with a purchase of the product be tough for some projects to fully understand the license model and what options to pick.

What problems is OpenText Professional Performance Engineering solving and how is that benefiting you?

* It has solved all my challenges for performance and non-functional testing since I started using the product in 2003.

* It has helped me in over 50 projects to validate the SLA prior to go live in production, has always found issues in each project which by shift left has saved all companies tons of money and potential badwill by customer and employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
