We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and OpenText LoadRunner Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"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."
"It has good protocol coverage."
"The initial setup and installation of the software were very easy and straightforward."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"When designing a workload model offers a good range of possibilities for creating goal-oriented scenarios, which helps us understand and meet SLAs."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"It is actually a very good tool because it will support almost all, if not all, industry-standard protocols, and it is also equipped with very nice reporting capabilities, which is why I like it."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting and automation."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"Considering the kinds of tests we are performing here, where we launch several tests at the same time as a batch request, JMeter is not the best tool for the job. Those kinds of things could be done easily with other tools, like T6."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"Compared to some other vendors, there is a lack of community support."
"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"IBM WebSphere MQ testing can be a bit challenging. It can handle that, but I hope that they will build more and more capabilities. We do a huge amount of testing for messaging. Just like aviation, the railway industry is based on messaging. There is messaging to build trains and messaging to create some bills. There are many train movements. Everything involves messaging. I wish that it will be developed more for IBM WebSphere testing. Monitoring is okay, but for testing, I currently have to create Java users. I have to load a lot of libraries from IBM WebSphere and so on."
"If they can make LoadRunner more comprehensive, it would really help."
"The tool should consider releasing a SaaS version since it makes more sense nowadays."
"I would like the solution to include monitoring capacity."
"I would like to see better-licensing costs."
