We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and OpenText LoadRunner Cloud 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."The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"The solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"It is open source as well as relatively extendable. It allows us to extend and add additional functionality and features. Its deployment is also very easy."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"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 most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of of money."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"The interface could be made 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."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"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."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community."
"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."
"An area for improvement is analytics on why response times are slow from certain countries."
"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator."
