"It's easy to set up."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"I like the record and playback features. We also appreciate that it's not just writing on a script that we create. While we were browsing our web application, it automatically records all the clicks and movements of points. We also appreciate the fact that it provides screenshots of everything in the output."
"Since Selenium HQ has multiple plug-ins, we can use it with multiple tools and multiple languages."
"The solution is very easy to use. Once you learn how to do things, it becomes very intuitive and simple."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"Data parametrization and parallelization are the most important features in any automation tool."
"The main characteristic that is useful is that the tool is completely free."
"The tool is easy to use and log in with respect to other tools. It is open-source. We can customize the product. I also like its security."

"The UI could be better."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"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."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"They should add more functionality to the solution."
"The drawback is the solution is not easy to learn."
"I would like for the next release to support parallel testing."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"For email-based applications, we can't automate as we would like to, making it necessary to bring in a third-party product to do so."
"For people that don't know about technology, maybe it's difficult to use."
"We'd like to see some more image management in future releases."
"The reporting part can be better."
