"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins." "API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease." "The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."

Cons | |
"The test clip should be more user-friendly."

"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files." "The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available." "In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane." "There is some work to be done with the integration." "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.
