Sreenivasula Mukkamalla - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Raghvendra Jyothi - PeerSpot reviewer
Very good performance and load testing capabilities
There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test. When we use the solution instead of Microsoft Edge, more scripting is required. The reports for structure point or test management could be more compatible with other tools. For example, when I create an application I sometimes cannot generate a report.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Overall, I would rate Apache JMeter as eight to nine out of ten."
"It is easy to set up."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"User-friendly and open source."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to have a better Graphical User Interface. Many of the solution's features are difficult to understand due to the complex user interface and user experience. The product needs to add plugins. It should also work on the integration with external partners like IDE and API gateways."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"It requires integration with other tools for live metrics, which is time-consuming."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache JMeter is an open-source solution, so it's free to use."
"Everything is included, and there are no additional costs."
"Since it is an open-source product, buying or paying for any license is unnecessary. One just needs to download it to be able to use it."
"I was using the free version of the software."
"We are using the free version."
"We are using the free version, and if required, we can easily switch to the other version."
"Apache JMeter is far less expensive than HP Performance Center."
"This is an open-source solution, and there are no fees."
"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
