Tricentis NeoLoad - Solution for complex enterprise systems

Rating: 9 out of 10

April 11, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Earlier we use LoadNinja of smaerbear, VSTS load test solution etc. but have to spend so much time to build tool itself. Not easy to operate, manage and maintain. After get Tricentis NeoLoad in place; everyone's life easy. We spend quality time for performance tests rather than maintaining & managing tool. It's easy to use, quickly design the test, support good range of protocols. Tricentis NeoLoad have wide range of integrations and collaboration features. It has nice test as a code option and also support AI.

Pros

Test as Code Option
Integration with CI/CD and APM tools
Easy to use and maintain
Quickly design test and make changes
Scalable

Cons

AI feature for script development and improvement
Improve reporting feature with more customization
Lack of technical support
Stability issue - sometimes NeoLoad completely freeze

Likelihood to Recommend

Tricentis NeoLoad is good for medium to large scale projects. It's not suitable for small projects because of cost. Also, Tricentis stop customers for upgrade without upgrade license which comes with cost. Vendor try to force existing customers to use SaaS, if want to stay as it is then you not get new features, upgrade, lack of support.

Enabling Agile Performance Testing at Scale with Tricentis NeoLoad

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

April 11, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tricentis NeoLoad in our organization primarily for performance testing of web, desktop based such as SAP and API-based applications. It's become an essential part of our CI/CD pipeline, helping us ensure scalability and reliability of applications before every major release.Identified performance bottlenecks early in the development cycle. Reduced manual effort and time spent in script maintenance

Pros

You can record a scenario once and reuse it across different test cases with minimal changes — thanks to dynamic parameterization and auto-correlation features.
Tricentis NeoLoad makes it easy to simulate real-world user behavior using its powerful GUI-based scripting interface.
We especially like the comparison feature to evaluate performance changes across builds or environments.

Cons

While Tricentis NeoLoad supports SAP GUI protocols, recording and maintaining test scripts for complex SAP transactions (like those in the OTC module) can be cumbersome.
For instance, we had challenges recording a VA01 (Sales Order Creation) transaction because of the dynamic nature of SAP screen fields and session handling. NeoLoad sometimes struggles to properly correlate or handle SAP’s SAPGUI Dynpro fields automatically.

Tricentis NeoLoad - Proactive Easy and Effective Load Test Tool

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

April 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tricentis NeoLoad is used extensively to load test individual applications and end to end integrated load tests. Neoload helps unearth underlying bottlenecks of the applications when tested with large volume of users, before application is presented to real users. There are multiple use cases where neoload is being leveraged. One such use case is mimicking real user navigations (Web page clicks) on high revenue generating applications and replay them with large volume to validate infrastructure capacity and to assess overall performance and behavior of applications

Pros

With Tricentis NeoLoad, we have control on the test dynamically. One can alter user count/volume even when test is in progress. This makes it a very cool tool as you can avoid running multiple tests eventually saves a lot of time.
Tricentis NeoLoad user paths are very well structured. End points can be identified and tweaked easily especially when a large list of endpoints are part of the neoload project.
Tricentis NeoLoad results comparison is one of the cool options. We can compare previous tests against the current one to see the exact delta between transaction metrics. This helps in gauging the application behaviour with changes deployed

Cons

Real Browser protocol - It is still in the budding state. Needs powerful controllers/LGs and incorporate best practices to include this in load test suite. It has a great potential to grow.
Tricentis NeoLoad dynamic infrastructure - Needs some improvement. One should be able to choose between regions/zones and no. of LG machines allocation can be handled automatically based on the script size/users
AI can be leveraged into Tricentis NeoLoad. For example, a model that can read existing APIs/user paths from publically available applications and can reproduce typical user behaviour without us having to write scripts.

Likelihood to Recommend

Tricentis NeoLoad is best suited to run load tests on all major kinds of applications specially if you are an ecommerce application. I'd highly recommend using Neoload if you are specifically targeting to test Production environment. It is because it gives you dynamic control on the users during the test. One can add extra users or take out some users depending on targeted transactions per second goal.

Tricentis NeoLoad saves the day

Rating: 10 out of 10

April 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tricentis NeoLoad for backoffice frontend and API performance testing. We have replaced jmeter and an older solution from Oracle, which was no longer supported. We use it more than one year without any issue. The scope is to decide if the release can go live or not based on the performance test results.

Pros

Reporting
Live tracking of performance data
Detecting performance bottlenecks

Cons

Maybe already recorded responses could be replaced with a newer one could be handy sometimes.

Likelihood to Recommend

For end-to-end web application performance tests and API perf tests the tool is perfect. I have no experience in mobile APP performance test with neoload, but would be great to learn about that one too.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is a fantastic tool, giving us the freedom to work tension-free and hassle-free. This is a very cost-effective tool. It is very user-friendly and easy to use across departments through innovative protocol and browser-based capabilities. We would highly recommend this tool to every user.

Pros

Browser based testing.
Easy to code and perform test.
Real time test results.

Cons

Nothing that i can see as of now.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is simple to integrate, has automated script maintenance, and is low—or, in some cases, no—dependent on coding. It is good with Quick Learning. Whether it is traditional or modern technology, it is easy to integrate the CI pipeline. It can be used for browser-based testing or protocol-based testing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tricentis NeoLoad offers a dependable, strong platform with good performance and an easy-to-use GUI. It is simple to utilize for both script automation and new technology innovation. It nearly possesses every important function needed in a professional performance tool. We prefer test scenarios that are simple to maintain, so we switched load and performance tests to Neoload.

Pros

Test case recording
presenting the results
Strong code-free design

Cons

virtual environment

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

February 22, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tricentis Neoload offers an extensive feature set and a complete toolset that streamlines the performance testing process. Non-technical users can easily create complex performance test scenarios because of its user-friendly interface and intuitive design. Neoload helps us find possible bottlenecks or areas for development by simulating real-world settings, creating virtual users, and analyzing application performance under various loads.

Pros

Rich Test Scenarios.
Comprehensive Performance Testing.
Detailed Reporting.
Easy to Integrate.

Cons

Cost is little high.
It is resource intensive tool.
There are Licensing restrictions.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
