"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"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."
"User-friendly and open source."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"At present, if the number of virtual users increases beyond 10,000 when testing, then it results in a Java heap which causes the solution to crash."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"They can improve it a little bit in terms of distribution load testing. We struggled with it during the distribution. In terms of reporting, runtime monitoring is not currently included, and it should be included. They can also improve it on the reporting side in terms of the comparison of the reports. They can also focus more on integration with CI/CD. Currently, people are using their own customized tools. It would be nice if Apache can provide some standard tools and procedures for integration with CI/CD tools like DPR. There are some tools, but it would be nice if official standard tools and procedures are available."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
