Extensive Protocol Support and Precise Reporting Elevate Testing, Though GUI Usability Needs Improvement
The GUI of Apache JMeter is not that user-friendly because we have many proxies, and we have to record through the proxy. With the limited SSL we have, we cannot use it for UI, which is a drawback. However, Apache JMeter is really good for REST APIs. I don't think there are any other areas other than the GUI that I would want improved about Apache JMeter; it is generally good and supports multiple protocols.
Vadim Urintsov - PeerSpot reviewer
An excellent solution for graph testing on programming software
Our primary use case for the solution is for graph testing on programming software The information provided via the solution and the dashboard is valuable. Additionally, it's interesting as you can view inside information integrated and see the WebLOAD with APM. There is no analytical dashboard…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"JMeter's open-source nature allows us to create scripts easily, add any number of users during load tests, and handle large volumes of data without additional cost."
"JMeter can be integrated with most open-source platforms like Grafana, Prometheus, or even with custom-made tools by extending it and integrating from GitHub."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."
"The solution is simple and useful."
"The most valuable aspect is that the IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process."
 

Cons

"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"It requires integration with other tools for live metrics, which is time-consuming."
"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 UI could be better."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"The reporting side of things is really complicated. It's difficult to get out exactly what you're looking for, there are almost too many options."
"Technical support is slow and wastes a lot of time, so it needs to be improved."
"There is no analytical dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source product."
"Since it is an open-source product, buying or paying for any license is unnecessary. One just needs to download it to be able to use it."
"We are using the free version, and if required, we can easily switch to the other version."
"Free"
"The tool is open-source."
"The solution is free of cost as it is open source."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It is open source. There are no licensing costs associated. If you need enterprise support, you'll probably end up paying for a license. You would also factor in the infrastructure cost, but that's not significant."
"It costs $8,600 yearly and we have the Cloud, which is an additional $800. Our perpetual license is $800 and then the Cloud functionality with our 500 users is the $8,600."
"We purchased a license for two years."
