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

"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"The product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"Overall, I would rate Apache JMeter as eight to nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"JMeter's open-source nature allows us to create scripts easily, add any number of users during load tests, and handle large volumes of data without additional cost."
"The pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"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."
"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 initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"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

"We are using the free version, and if required, we can easily switch to the other version."
"The main reason we chose Apache JMeter is that it is cost-effective and easy to use. There is no need to pay for additional services. Additionally, it does not require additional payment to vendors. The solution is open-source and free."
"Free"
"Apache JMeter is far less expensive than HP Performance Center."
"Since it's free, there's no need for extensive support or improvements in pricing."
"It is free."
"The tool is open-source."
"Apache JMeter is an open-source solution, so it's free to use."
"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
