It's a free tool with a vast knowledge base, but the reporting is lackluster, and it has a steep learning curve
JMeter is used by a team of four performance engineers. We monitor tasks on the API level, so all of the requests are hitting individually JMeter has helped us streamline our applications by identifying multiple bottlenecks in our systems and exercising tasks against APIs. JMeter is a free tool…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Their technical support is awesome."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
 

Cons

"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"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 use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"To the best of my knowledge, the documentation could be improved. It should be enhanced to better support newcomers. Currently, only people with some experience can easily understand the content. Including more sample programs, applications, and use cases would help many more people adapt to using the solution."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"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."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price with Load Runner, and if the cost is an issue then JMeter is a better choice"
"Free"
"The price of Apache JMeter is good. The selling rate is quite effective and the limited users with a multi-region-related execution."
"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 switched to Apache because it is free. Other tools are much too expensive and can cost up to $50,000 a year if you are looking at commercial options."
"In terms of open-source adoption, it is completely free."
"Apache JMeter is far less expensive than HP Performance Center."
"We use the open source version."
"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
