Tricentis NeoLoad features an easy-to-use interface that allows us to record and run the script locally before attempting to run it through the NeoLoad website. To prevent errors while executing the script on several virtual users, we may also validate the user flow captured by running it against just one virtual user. During runtime, the correlation feature aids in handling dynamically changing values. Neoload's web portal also allows you to gather other types of graphs and matrices.

Neoload provides sophisticated load simulation features that faithfully mimic actual user behavior. We can evaluate your application's performance during periods of high traffic by creating realistic loads for it. This helps us to make sure the application can handle the anticipated user load without experiencing any lag or loss of responsiveness. By doing this, we can proactively fix performance problems before they affect end users.

Our testing environment has found NeoLoad to be an invaluable tool. It was mostly utilized for web load testing. Its upkeep and the way various features were implemented were excellent. Because of the test results and actions in various items, the majority of institutions use this program. Additionally, by investigating various load types, it enables developers to test heavy load applications and assist in analyzing the strength and performance of such apps.

Focus on shorter tests because there is a limit on the amount (hours) of test results that can be uploaded and stored on the cloud. We needed to delete “old” results in order for the latest set to be uploaded. Being able to share results online is huge, especially to management but limiting the amount that can be stored online is disappointing.

Before purchasing Tricentis NeoLoad, we were using a similar Javascript-based tool from another vendor for years. The major issue we were facing was it was very unstable. We were not confident that we would get a test run successfully, especially if the test is heavy. Ex: A 24-hour load test with 3500 users. It used to crash at the end of the test, trying to pull data points, and we'd lose our precious 24 hours! Tricentis NeoLoad totally aces when it comes to stability. I can easily run the same test without having to worry about crashes or slowness. It also reduces the amount of coding that I had to do with the previous tool and saves much time. However, what I miss compared to the previous tool was flexibility. I could plug the previous tool with any third-party DB, stream and store the test data in a time-series DB, and then plot-important graphs out of it. Though Tricentis NeoLoad provides visuals by default, it does not provide any support for third-party integration.

Here are some specific scenarios where Tricentis NeoLoad might be well-suited:
  • Performance testing of web applications: Tricentis NeoLoad is well-suited for testing the performance of web applications under heavy loads. It can simulate multiple users accessing the application simultaneously and measure response times, throughput, and error rates to identify bottlenecks and potential failure points.
  • Testing the scalability of APIs: Tricentis NeoLoad is well-suited for testing the scalability of APIs. It can simulate increasing loads on an API and measure the response times and error rates to identify the point at which performance starts to degrade.
  • Identifying performance bottlenecks: Tricentis NeoLoad can be used to identify performance bottlenecks in web applications and APIs by measuring response times, throughput, and error rates at various points in the application. This can help organizations pinpoint the specific parts of their applications that are causing performance issues and take steps to address them.

Here are some scenarios where Tricentis NeoLoad might be less appropriate:
  • Testing the performance of native mobile applications: Tricentis NeoLoad is primarily focused on testing the performance of web applications and APIs. It does not have as much support for testing the performance of native mobile applications.
  • Testing the performance of applications hosted in the cloud: Tricentis NeoLoad does not have as much support for testing the performance of applications hosted in the cloud. It may be less well-suited for testing the performance of cloud-based applications and infrastructure.
  • Advanced scripting and customization: While Tricentis NeoLoad does offer some scripting and customization capabilities, it is not as well-suited for users who need more advanced options for customizing and automating load testing scenarios.

Well suited: Web applications in intranet or internet - The results are reported in a well-organized report which can be the basis for further and deep analysis, which is the basis for defects and corrections resp. maintenance and some tuning measured by development. Less appropriate: We also tested SAP apps, but we have less experience here.

Overall its great performance tool with easy GUI & improvements in the automation of script plus innovation in new technology. A robust & reliable platform that suits all our needs. I have been dealing with Neoload for about 3 years & have found the level of product support to be very high.
but in other view it doesn't fulfill the customize reports which is essential & trending.

Because it supports a wide range of protocols, Neotys NeoLoad is a must for performance testing. While we use it primarily for SAP technologies ourselves, it can easy be used in end-to-end scenarios. It makes the staging a lot more secure and gives fundamental quality indicators to anyone involved during and after GoLive.

Using NeoLoad we were able to rapidly validate that a switch from an expensive Database product to a low-cost Database product was, in fact, viable. The maximum transaction capability was nearly identical, and the type of message the DB products would produce when exceeding their configured capability.
Using NeoLoad we are able to predict and tune/remedy high throughput transaction rate problems BEFORE they occur in Production.

NeoLoad is a very comprehensive tool if you are looking for a performance test tool for web applications and other applications using protocols like REST, SOAP, etc. The concepts are easy to understand and mostly clear. This enables you to develop very fast tests with a very good flexibility regarding the number of virtual users, the mixture of scripts, locations where load is generated or there is load variation. In consulting projects it is very helpful that project data and reports can be viewed by NeoLoad without the need of a license.

Neoload is suited for the following scenarios:

-Performance Testing of web based applications
-Check for application bottlenecks
-Performance measure of multiple users accessing an application
-Performance measurement of network activity
-Check for memory leakage
-Measure throughput

Neoload provides metrics that can be used to track the overall stability of the application before deploying it to production.

Ask about:

  • The protocols which are easily supported by NeoLoad.
  • The license needs to include all the protocols.
  • The parameterization rules need to be improved and there needs to be a sample if we select a particular parameterization properties. Example: Sequential, each occurrence..something like that.

There needs to be a property to add different actions in a single script.

The most important question to ask in selecting a performance testing tool is - does it support the protocols that the applications to be tested use? NeoLoad supports all web-based protocols. It also supports Microsoft Silverlight and .net, and mobile applications. Unfortunately, NeoLoad does not support mainframe terminal protocols such as VT3270. Another key aspect is the ability to correlate host OS metrics with the results of the performance testing. NeoLoad supports this requirement through agentless monitoring. Finally, another key factor is ease of use. NeoLoad is easier to learn than a number of competitor products such as HP LoadRunner.
