We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter, OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise, and Tricentis Flood based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Load Testing Tools."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 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."
"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 performance of the solution is excellent."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"The metrics part of it and the ability to write your custom code to do some specific tests in the performance testing space are the most valuable features."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"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."
"With Performance Center, the version upgrade is easy. You just have to roll out the new patch or the new version."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"IP Spoofing can be done using Performance Center."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"It is also good for reporting purposes, which would be most familiar for QC and UFT users."
"The product is good, and the concept is good as well."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"Their technical support is awesome."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"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."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's reporting should be quicker, easier, and more flexible."
"The product's scalability must be improved."
"They had wanted to change the GUI to improve the look and feel. However, since that time, we see a lot of hanging issues."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
