What advice do you have for others considering Apache JMeter?

Apache JMeter is open-source, so there is no pricing. The only concern is to set up your infrastructure to scale up the number of users. It is distributed. You can set up your own virtual PCs, or use the paid version such as BlazeMeter or other options such as OctoPerf. Each vendor has their own pricing details based on users and negotiations. Apache JMeter is open-source. Everything, including scripting executions, can be executed for free, and you can set up your own network and scale up to any number of users without limit. In my organization, there are two users, me and my teammate, who are working with Apache JMeter. There is no maintenance required for the solution. I definitely recommend Apache JMeter to other users because it is an open-source tool. Compared to LoadRunner, you save a significant amount of money. Installation is hassle-free when we compare it with LoadRunner, and there are no additional components compared to the other tools. It is easy to use, and most organizations use it for performance testing, around 70 to 80%. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Apache JMeter an 8.

I have found multiple plugins in Apache JMeter to be most beneficial; often I use the JSON editor and some listeners to fetch more graphs, especially when running in GUI mode. Apache JMeter's integration with CI/CD pipelines contributes to continuous testing in my organization through a plugin we have. We need to configure both CI/CD Jenkins and Apache JMeter, so that when the pipeline is triggered through Jenkins, Apache JMeter executes the test automatically to maintain the regression suite. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Apache JMeter a seven.

Overall, I would rate Apache JMeter as eight to nine out of ten. It is the best solution I have observed and tried, though it is not perfect, as paid tools may offer additional features.

I recommend JMeter for its ease of use. Anyone can understand and utilize it efficiently, making it highly favorable for teams. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

For those looking into open source, JMeter is an excellent tool and should be the first option. For commercial needs, BlazeMeter is a good choice, or LoadRunner is a good choice for a commercial setup. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I propose they use Micro Focus LoadRunner or NeoLoad. I have even put forward the proposal here [in my current company] as well. Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. I recommend it wherever I go.

Overall, I'd give JMeter a solid ten for its simplicity and effectiveness in typical tasks. While the UI could be slightly better, it's not a critical issue. JMeter provides valuable data and insights through its graphs, and its main benefit lies in being free, simple to use, and widely recognized.

I'll definitely advise that you should at least give it a try. If it serves your initial needs and meets your expectations, you should go for it. It's quite an old and up-to-mark tool with a proven track record in the industry, and there's a strong community behind it. So it's definitely worth giving a shot. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

One piece of advice I often provide to those venturing into performance testing with Apache JMeter is to carefully consider the expected load. Due to its utilization of the Java Virtual Machine, JMeter can be memory-intensive. For extensive testing scenarios with a high volume of virtual users and transactions, it's crucial to meticulously configure JMeter, considering each element in the scenario. However, for simpler yet intensive testing needs, individuals might find less resource-intensive tools like Gatling or Locust more suitable. If it were a commercial tool, I'd rate it an eight, but given that it's a free and non-commercial tool, I'd lean more towards a nine. While it's not perfect, I believe it's one of the best options available for now.

I prefer tools that I can easily teach people within twenty minutes, and JMeter falls into that category. It's part of the tools I use to help others learn load testing. While JMeter can be a bit tricky, I find it easy to grasp and teach. It's user-friendly, and I can quickly introduce someone to it. It's a tool that I can easily exchange with others, and I aim to achieve proficiency in it soon because of its simplicity and ease of use. I would rate it a seven. The reason for the seven is due to occasional stability issues that can occur. Additionally, the lack of color in its scheduling makes it less engaging, especially when teaching someone newer to the system. It can become a bit boring in terms of appearance.

It is a complete tool that integrates lots of functionality. I recommend it to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

I recommend users explore each and every functionality of Apache JMeter. Overall, I rate Apache JMeter a nine out of ten.

I recommend Apache JMeter to others who want to use it. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

One tool cannot fit into all kinds of applications and business use cases. But by and large, it can cater to many applications. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would recommend the product to those planning to use it as an open-source product, and there is no need to buy a license. So, it is free of cost application. However, I am not sure about the product from a security perspective. But nowadays, banking people are also using it, but it won't be scalable in a banking environment where a large number of people want to use it. Using the solution, one can only test web applications and not use the tool for page rendering. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

I give the solution a seven out of ten. I suggest using the solution and following the basics.

I'm a customer and end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using. It's not the latest, however. It may be about one year old. You can deploy both on-premises and on the cloud. Once you go ahead and implement JMeter and you learn the process, it's a great tool. It could be a great asset for any organization as it is a highly customizable tool. If you can handle the learning curve, it will be worth it. Plus, as an open-source tool, you can save a lot of money on licensing. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I advise new users to enhance their understanding of the solution via Youtube.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I advise users considering this solution to take a course to get familiar with it quickly.

I have experience with Apache JMeter, with version 5.5. as the most recent version I've used. Apache JMeter is deployed on-premises, but my company did a POC with Apache JMeter and BlazeMeter. BlazeMeter is a CA proprietor tool where you can hook up Apache JMeter scripts. BlazeMeter is a cloud-based tool where you can run tests with the help of Apache JMeter scripts. At the moment, only two people use Apache JMeter within my company. Two people can handle the deployment of Apache JMeter, while only one person is required to maintain it. My advice to people looking into implementing Apache JMeter is to make the decision based on the application portfolio. For example, if it's more diverse, then using Apache JMeter could be tricky, but if you're only testing lightweight applications, Apache JMeter will be a viable solution. Apache JMeter requires minimal investment, yet it has some returns, and it's a good tool, so I'm rating it as seven out of ten.

I give the solution The only support available for the solution is online because it is open-source and does not come with technical support. To anyone that is thinking of using the solution, I suggest you familiarize yourself with regular expression.

We are customers and end-users. I'd recommend the solution if a company is looking for something that is open-source. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would rate Apache JMeter a nine out of ten.

I'm using Apache JMeter for work. Locust is also used within the company, as well as k6, but I only touched base on those solutions. The projects I'm working on currently use Apache JMeter, but my company works across regions and uses different tools, including Gatling and Locust. Apache JMeter is used daily, for the range of projects I've been testing it on. A new government project came in, and I chose Apache JMeter for it because of its simplicity and user-friendly interface. My rating for Apache JMeter is seven out of ten.

I recommend the solution and rate it a eight out of ten. The solution is open source so on occasion there are security vulnerabilities.

We likely are using the latest version of the solution. However, I can't be sure. I'm not sure which version number we're using. It's a tool that is being used by many, many others as well. There's a lot of community support out there. I'd recommend it, as long as it supports the platform. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We would recommend that organizations considering this solution invest time in research of the product before implementing it. There are a lot of online resources that can assist with this, so the business can check if the solution will meet their requirements. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using the latest version of the solution. We are using a cloud version of JMeter that is called BlazeMeter. If you are a company that is evaluating other licensed tools, just go for JMeter. It's open source, easy to use, and the most widely used across platforms. It would be much simpler than using the other licensed tools. Other licensed tools may have pretty good technical support. However, most problems with JMeter can be solved using the solutions that are available on the internet. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We would recommend this solution to any QA or developer as a 'must-try product'. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I cannot recall the exact version number we are using. I always download the latest. We are currently using our own servers to provide the network. I recommend JMeter if your goal is to design some stress tests. JMeter has some features. For example, you can start with tests on the command line. You can join instantly on our current deployment batches. Jenkins has some support for JMeter as well. On another hand, you can make a simple bridge to start the JMeter process with the command line in the same Jenkins deployment. You have a lot of features on hand. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I rate JMeter five out of 10. You need knowledgeable employees to work with the tool because it's difficult to learn. There is a steep learning curve, so you shouldn't expect an entry-level engineer to pick up the tool quickly and become proficient. It takes a considerable amount of time.

We would recommend that any organization using this solution for test script development, may also want to look for a complementary product to handle script exhibition. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I rate Apache JMeter eight out of 10. Before using JMeter, you should find some tutorials because you need to be trained to use it. It's not a plug-and-play tool. This is what I did. Spend some time researching JMeter's capabilities. We met a lot of people who knew about JMeter, but when you tell them that it can do something, they're not aware of it. For instance, through taking some courses, we learned that JMeter has distributed performance capabilities. Some people still know that you can't make these recordable scenarios. This information hasn't reached everyone in the IT market.

We may be using the latest version. I don’t know the exact version number. It is on-prem. However, we can put it on the cloud as well. We install it on any machine, so it can be a local or cloud-based machine. I’d recommend JMeter. One critical piece of advice is to plan properly. For JMeter, planning and having an understanding of the limitations are important. If you play within those limitations, it is a really great tool. There are trade rules that apply to a lot of things that we use. However, there's plenty of material available so far. Whoever is doing it, can plan it accordingly. They can create those tests, and execute those tests. That said, at the same time, be aware of the scalability of the JMeter. For example, a single JMeter line, which is running, can take 1,000 to 2,000 threats, not more than that. Again, it depends on the available hardware. If you want to scale to, say, one million or something, different parts of planning are needed. I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

My advice is that it requires a fairly consistent amount of initial learning. It is not simple to learn. I would rate Apache JMeter a three out of ten.

I rate JMeter six out of 10.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

My advice to others is to go through some basic video processes, which are available on YouTube and Apache JMeter site, it has a lot of documentation that will help you get prepared and used to the tool. I rate Apache JMeter a seven out of ten.

I would rate Apache JMeter an eight out of ten.

I'd rate the solution a seven out of ten. I'm an end-user and a customer.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10.

I would definitely recommend JMeter in terms of usability. If you're using AngularJS as a language for testing UIs, JMeter might not be a good idea. I'd rate this solution as six out of ten.

I would suggest that instead of using a GUI-based implementation, try to make it code-based. Try to replicate the configuration. The plug should be job-ready, and ready to be integrated as well. Rather than having a UI, and limitations. Three or four years ago, I would have given it a seven or eight, but now that there are more powerful competitors, I would give Apache JMeter a five out of ten.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is a decent choice from a small-scale perspective, but reporting could be better. If you want to get some performance testing done without spending money, JMeter is probably the best tool. It doesn't have the best reporting, but it is quite a handy tool.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Apache JMeter at nine. I would recommend it for medium-sized businesses.

For those who do not want to spend money on tools then this solution would be a good choice. This is the best solution in the open-source category. I rate Apache JMeter an eight out of ten.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

I would not recommend this solution for machine-critical applications such as banking or telecom applications. For those, we would go for paid tools. That way, if there are any technical issues or technical breaches with the tool, with the application we are supporting, we can call on support for troubleshooting. With JMeter, we don't have this option. It is good, however, for non-critical applications. In telecom or banking applications, they need to have critical releases and patches, and issues have a high likelihood of leading to a loss of business. We don't want to take chances. However, for non-critical items, JMeter is fine. I'd recommend the solution to other users so long as they keep in mind JMeter's capabilities are limited. The upside is it is free to use, however, there's also a limit, to some extent, on how you can use it. IF you have a small-scale organization and a small number of users, JMeter will work well. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

If you're working on a low-budget project and don't have dependencies of a huge number of users then this is the perfect tool. If you have 2,000 or 3,000 users then it's probably best to look at other options. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

I would recommend this solution. Most of the support, guides, and tutorials are available on YouTube. I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

Don't be shy in asking questions. Google/Bing is your friend. It is complicated. There's no reason to spend eight hours trying to figure out something, except unless you are trying to learn in-depth. There are a lot of people who've done exactly what you're trying to do, and it doesn't matter what it is. I would rate it a 10 out of 10 because it is industry standard. It did everything I could've asked. I barely scratched the surface, but what I needed it for, it did well and in a very straightforward-to-implement way.

Understand the use case. Choosing the correct tool for any task is always a challenge. Jmeter offers a significant amount of flexibility and will work for a lot of solutions. Jmeter requires a commitment to learning for optimal operation; without that investment, tests may not yield the appropriate outcomes.

I would advise others to look at YouTube videos for the setup. Other than that, it was pretty straightforward. I was pretty much satisfied with it. It's a good tool, and it sounds like it's been around for a while. I would rate Apache JMeter a seven out of ten.

I would definitely recommend this solution if it suits a use case. It is good, and it also looks promising. We plan to keep using it in the future. I would rate Apache JMeter an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution. I would rate Apache JMeter a seven out of ten.

I would recommend Apache Jmeter. I rate Apache JMeter an eight out of ten.

I'm not quite sure which version of the solution our team is using right now. It's likely the latest version. We did the upgrade on our tools in 2019. It's open-source, and therefore everybody picks up the latest one. As an open-source tool, there's a good community surrounding it. If you have automation frameworks or a DevOps pipeline, you can connect that and easily configure everything to streamline processes. Due to the fact that it's open-source, you don't have to wait to get the approvals and the budgets in order. That part alone can take months to sometimes years. If your company has the time, they should review the tools. If it seems to fit your organization, I'd recommend trying it out. Overall, I would rate the solution seven out of ten. It's a good open-source tool that you can configure easily, and it's very competitive in the market in terms of usability

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Apache JMeter a ten out of ten. I don't have anything else to compare it with, and I don't know if a competitor can achieve better.

My advice for anybody who is considering JMeter is to just install it and try it. Creating scripts is a different process when you compare it to LoadRunner or Neoload. There is different terminology compare to these two products, so if somebody has not used JMeter then it may seem difficult at first. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

For the load test which requires high transactions per second to be achieved, in the range of 15K transactions per second, this is a very good tool to use and the biggest advantage is that it is free. It has a big user group, so we can find solutions easily if there are any challenges. It's really a very good open-source tool for any organization to look at in terms of performance tests. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

If companies have mobile development, they should use JMeter. If they want to integrate it with the PA pipeline, JMeter will work well. However, there are other platforms and solutions as well. Other options include Silk Performer and Load Impact. These two solutions have other capabilities that JMeter doesn't have. You can basically model your load and structure with them. You can't do that on this solution. On Silk Performer, you can also do network packeting, which you can't do on JMeter. Then there are some network features available in Load Impact as well as Silk Performer that aren't in JMeter. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. The solution has certain limitations, but it's still a good product.

JMeter is a good solution but it requires writing manual scripts and takes longer than BlazeMeter. It takes longer to cover the same number of use cases and is not as user-friendly. I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

This is a good solution but many features would have to be added to use this tool alone. Postman has more features, so JMeter is really only good for performance testing. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would definitely recommend JMeter. It is a very nice tool. It is easy to use and there are several components already developed in the tool that you can use to simplify the process of defining and redefining scripts. But I would like it to be more flexible and integrate with other tools.

We are using the on-premises deployment model. The advice I would give to others would be to look at your requirements and decide if the solution is right for you. For us, it was API testing and JMeter is very good for this. I'd rate this solution nine out of ten.

The requirements for most of our customers is to provide them with cheap solutions, and most prefer not to pay for software. This is the right solution for them based on some of the open-source tools that are available. There are some commercial solutions that provide better integration to the solutions that must be tested when running loads. I would rate this solution an eight out ten.

For people thinking about implementing the solution, I would advise that they know what protocols they want to work with. I would recommend doing an evaluation of script maintenance. You need to see how stable your automation disk and performance is. I would rate this solution nine out of ten. The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge, continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins.

We are using the private cloud version of the solution. I would rate this solution eight out of ten. If it had a bit of a better user interface, I would rate it higher.
