Apache JMeter Primary Use Case
JMeter is used by a team of four performance engineers. We monitor tasks on the API level, so all of the requests are hitting individually.

We have multiple use cases. We have APIs integrated for functionality. We're using JMeter for performance testing those APIs.
There are about 80 people working on this project, and about 12 people are using JMeter for performance testing.
Approximately 10% of people are using JMeter in my organization, and some people are using PureLoad, which is a paid tool.
We're using version 4. The solution is deployed on an Azure public cloud.

We have a Neotys slave server configuration where we have one server that caters to three servers, and we test most of the load on Apache JMeter, particularly for a hundred users. We test the load for web applications, services, and the rest of the APIs, though our current setup for Apache JMeter isn't that big.
View full review »I consider Apache JMeter to be a fundamental tool in the industry for performance testing. Its primary advantage lies in being free, making it accessible to everyone. The platform boasts a wide range of plugins, regularly updated, and has a substantial community. You can find information on almost any topic in the community forums or Q&A sites related to code.

We use this solution mostly for creating scripts, load testing, and performance testing. If my client doesn't have a tool or I don't have a tool, I try to leverage JMeter because it's an open-source tool.
I personally use JMeter for things which cannot be covered by our load testing tool, which is OATS, Oracle Application Testing Suite. This is a tool that was developed by Oracle but is no longer in use because Oracle has stopped developing it.
The solution is deployed on-prem and on private and public clouds.
View full review »We are using this for performance testing and some automation. We consolidate the test data in our own systems and then use an API to send this data to JMeter. The software testing team then uses it to perform all the tests they wish to do. Nowadays, we are mainly focused on regression testing and working with that.

Load testing is something that we used to do on Apache JMeter. We have regular releases every two weeks with varying features and modules. For major releases, where most of the EPS are modified or new features are introduced with new pages, we perform a performance test once every three to four months. We have a fixed schedule for performance testing before the sale, such as Thanksgiving and Black Friday, to ensure stability and performance during the sales period.

Apache JMeter's key feature is its ability to manage load profiles, gradually increasing requests over time. This was crucial for us as we tested our application, handling unique protocols and increasing load steadily. JMeter helped identify bottlenecks by measuring response times as we increased request flow rates. This data guided us in optimizing our system's performance and scaling hardware when needed. Recently, new tools like Platinum Consultant have emerged, but I haven't explored them thoroughly. My colleagues prefer these newer tools over JMeter.

I use JMeter for concurrency and some backend services. We are also using JMeter to apply our tests within our framework by sending some requests to JMeter to assess our application's performance. My company is developing software based on data analytics that produces insights and graphs like Tableau or Power BI. We use JMeter to test the graphs, how the tables are rendered, and how long it takes to render some applications.
For instance, we have a problem with one of our clients that use some complex scenarios or queries that take too much time to retrieve from the application or render to the end user. We ran a couple of tests on the application using JMeter and spotted the service or request that was taking too much time.We alerted the developers about this, and they took the appropriate action to fix this problem. Afterward, we run another cycle of JMeter to ensure everything is working as expected.
There are two modules. The analytics module is the interface for the stakeholders and company decision-makers. The number of users isn't that big, unlike the retail applications websites. It's 500 users at most. The other module is deals with data volume. We are currently doing some POCs to check whether we will benefit from JMeter in this area because it's not a concurrency issue. It's a data volume issue.
We have a hybrid deployment because we are using JMeter to assess the performance of our products. If the product is deployed on the cloud, we use JMeter on the cloud. If it's on-prem, we are using it on-prem. At my previous company, we mainly used JMeter on-prem.
I expect that we will continue to rely more on JMeter, and we have multiple DevOps pipelines using JMeter to test another module in our application.
I mainly use JMeter to capture the traffic of the most-visited page to see how much load a particular page is getting and how many users are using that page for a particular amount of time. I've also used it to capture APIs for particular pages.

I've used JMeter in conjunction with Selenium, Java, and Log4j for logging. I used it before
I ended that contract in August. Its version was up to date at that time.
It was used for an e-commerce site that is specialized in C-PAP or weaving machines in effect. Their max was a thousand people logged in at once. I, of course, pushed the boundaries on that, but it was to test the performance of the website, and of course, I'm had to try subsystems, database interactions, etc.
View full review »We primarily use the solution to manage our capabilities. Wherever the business goes, we need to work within the expected benchmark. In terms of the user bases we deal with, most of these are products from different locations with different types of functional flow-out. There are environmental integrations also running in the background, which a user is basically accessing while going through a particular workflow.
We'll also handle the reporting section of our data management responsibilities utilizing this system.
The use cases are mainly for performance testing and for test case management of the different APIs.

We use Apache JMeter for API testing. Our latest task combines test cases with our CI/CD pipeline for deployment to Kubernetes. Tests are developed locally and automated for the build using standard Unit and Integration testing techniques. Once deployment is successful to Kubernetes, we develop the JMeter tests for automation in promotion scenarios. Thereafter, once a deployment is successful, we can automate promotion to the next level based on test success.

It is an open-source solution. So, typically when you don't want to make a heavy investment, and you want to do some level of performance testing, Apache JMeter is used.
It is typically on-premises, and it has also been on the public cloud. It could be Azure, or it could be AWS. It is very rarely on GCP.
I am using this solution for a banking use case. We have an older version of this solution. We are planning to upgrade to a newer version.
