Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"It is scalable. You can scale up to 1,000 users in JMeter. If you can put up four slave servers, you can easily ramp up to 1,000 users."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side."
"I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions."
"You can do your development from start to finish: starting with the requirements, ending with defects, and testing in-between."
"Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The tools could be useful if we were utilizing them more effectively"
"The product can scale."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"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."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"I need to consider it further because as features increase, it might become more complicated, and my goal has always been simplicity. Currently, I have to focus on other tasks, and I'm handling multiple responsibilities, so I can't juggle everything at once. However, if you ask me, I believe EJB covers most functionalities that are crucial. One improvement I'd suggest is adding a graphical aspect to the Gateway, making it a bit more colorful. Unlike JMeter, which lacks color, having a bit of color in the graphical aspects would be beneficial. Overall, for the essential features, EJB should work fine."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"I'm looking at more towards something more from a DevOps perspective. For example, how to pull the DevOps ecosystem into the Micro Focus ALM."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center should improve the reports. Reporting on tax execution progress against the plan. However, they might have improved over two years since I have used the solution."
"The version of Micro Focus ALM that we use only works through Internet Explorer (IE). We have to communicate to everyone that they can only use IE with the solution. This is a big limitation. We should be free to use any type of browser or operating system. We have customers and partners who are unable to log into the system and enter their defects because they work on a different operating system."
"The support is not good and the documentation is not consistent."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center could improve how the automation process works. Addiotnlally, the parallel execution needs to be optimized. For example, if multiple users, which are two or more users, are doing an execution, while we execute the cases, I have seen some issues in the progress."
"The downside is that the Quality Center's only been available on Windows for years, but not on Mac."
"Lacks sufficient plug-ins."
"There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic."
