We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and StresStimulus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"JMeter lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"It is open source as well as relatively extendable. It allows us to extend and add additional functionality and features. Its deployment is also very easy."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team."
"Technical support is great."
"Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."
"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 future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"Considering the kinds of tests we are performing here, where we launch several tests at the same time as a batch request, JMeter is not the best tool for the job. Those kinds of things could be done easily with other tools, like T6."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"There could be improvements in terms of memory utilization. We are going to migrate away from JMeter in the near future."
"We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection."
"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features."
"Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."
