Leveraging cost-effective customization with powerful plugins but complexity reduction needed
Apache JMeter offers plugins for reporting and preparing test scenarios. It allows recording to customization, letting you download plugins to connect with databases or external systems. Despite being open source, it offers features comparable to paid tools, and its ability to customize and expand is particularly useful. Additionally, its open-source nature makes it cost-effective.

User-friendly, cheap, and quick to set up
It's actually quite easy to set it up. You can change your upgrade plan at any time. The pricing is reasonable. The support was also very good. They are great at helping you set it up. Overall, it's user-friendly. I like that you can also use different servers, which I used in Europe or in different contexts. The reporting is okay. I can get notifications via email, which is nice. Everything is immediate and in real-time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We had some challenges testing HTTP/2 APIs, which are becoming more prevalent with advancements like 5G. So, we added another plugin to help with HTTP/2 API load testing. Apache JMeter, with additional plugins, now supports HTTP/2, which is critical as everyone moves from HTTP/1 to HTTP/2."
"Monetary benefits with Apache JMeter are notable since it doesn’t require a licensed version."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jenkins and the reporting."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"JMeter can be integrated with most open-source platforms like Grafana, Prometheus, or even with custom-made tools by extending it and integrating from GitHub."
"The pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvements related to client-side metrics, integrating with tools like YSlow or HTTP Watch, and enhancing mobile testing capabilities."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Scalability is somewhat of an issue, which I would rate around five or six. For runs involving a thousand or more users, JMeter presents a problem because of memory and related issues."
"A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution, and there are no fees."
"We use the open source version."
"Apache JMeter is an open-source solution, so it's free to use."
"Apache JMeter is far less expensive than HP Performance Center."
"In terms of open-source adoption, it is completely free."
"Free"
"We are using the free version, and if required, we can easily switch to the other version."
"The solution is free of cost as it is open source."
"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
