We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise 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 reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"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."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"Apache JMeter is stable."
"Scripting with the solution is good."
"For me, the test coverage and the performance and load testing aspects are valuable."
"It is mostly user-friendly and usable."
"The product is good, and the concept is good as well."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support."
"Probably its prime advantage, it provides a centralized location for testing."
"This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market."
"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"They can improve it a little bit in terms of distribution load testing. We struggled with it during the distribution. In terms of reporting, runtime monitoring is not currently included, and it should be included. They can also improve it on the reporting side in terms of the comparison of the reports. They can also focus more on integration with CI/CD. Currently, people are using their own customized tools. It would be nice if Apache can provide some standard tools and procedures for integration with CI/CD tools like DPR. There are some tools, but it would be nice if official standard tools and procedures are available."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"I know there are integrations with continuous testing. It's got tie-ins to some of the newer tools to allow continuous testing. I'd love to see us not have to customize it, but for it to be out of the box."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
