Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"To me, what's most valuable in Apache JMeter is that it's a lightweight tool for application testing. It's the best load-testing tool for my company because Apache JMeter simulates your application during testing. Apache JMeter also creates threads with good server utilization. Apache JMeter allows you to focus on analyzing the situation, looking into measurements, response time, and client-server responses, which I find valuable."
"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."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"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 UI has room for improvement."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."

"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use."
"Sometimes, the product is too complex to use."
"The price could be improved."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
