Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."User-friendly and open source."
"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 product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"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 is very quick and user-friendly."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of Visual Studio Test Professional are the IntelliSense and the ease of adding the NuGet packages."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"Given that Apache JMeter is a free and open-source tool, documentation improvement may not be a major concern, as it is mostly contributed on a voluntary basis. The essential information is already available. However, in terms of the interface, there are occasional bugs, and the tool may not address them as quickly as some users would like. Fixing defects and bugs might take a considerable amount of time, with users sometimes having to wait for several months or even a year for the next release to address specific issues."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"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."
"We would like to be able to easily integrate this solution with our continuous integration tools, such as Jenkins."
"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
