Room For Improvement

Apache JMeter struggles with load handling, UI issues, automation, scripting, integration, report generation, documentation, and user support.
Enhancements are needed in mobile automation, integration, reporting, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness for improved UiPath Test Cloud workflows.
With AI becoming more prominent, they can implement features where it can generate code by itself based on the results or provide suggestions.
Principal Performance Architect at Tecnotree Corporation
Currently, we need to use multiple separate JMeter instances to simulate reductions in load, which isn't ideal.
Software QA Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The tool needs improvements related to client-side metrics, integrating with tools like YSlow or HTTP Watch, and enhancing mobile testing capabilities.
Senior Solution Architect at HCLSoftware
If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
Application Developer & Senior Analyst at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
Senior RPA Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely.
Senior Solutions Architect at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Apache JMeter is a free, open-source tool ideal for budget-conscious enterprises compared to pricier commercial solutions.
UiPath Test Cloud is seen as valuable yet costly, with prices perceived higher than competitors but justified by features.
Using JMeter helps us avoid additional costs for high-load testing since it is open-source and allows for unlimited virtual users at no extra cost.
Software QA Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the cost and license are free because Apache JMeter is open source.
Principal Performance Test Engineer at KiwiTech LLC
It's a cost-effective solution.
Senior Solution Architect at HCLSoftware
Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
Application Developer & Senior Analyst at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.

Valuable Features

Apache JMeter is a flexible, open-source tool for performance testing, valued for its GUI, plugin support, and community.
UiPath Test Cloud integrates with tools, offers low-code, customized tests, AI features, and saves costs on testing processes.
JMeter facilitates scripting capabilities, which include options for Groovy scripts.
Senior Solution Architect at HCLSoftware
It's useful for both the person conducting the test and the higher management, like project managers or senior executives, who may not know about the test.
Performance Test Engineer at CEI
Despite being open source, it offers features comparable to paid tools.
Sr.Engineer csit Quality Assurance at Verizon
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.

Have built custom performance test scripts and integrated them into automated pipelines seamlessly
Apache JMeter has its own pros and cons when compared to other tools. It is easy to use the tool and it has open-source capability so we can build our custom scripts and execute them. It provides other capabilities, such as integrating a database and connecting to other application servers for monitoring and related functions. We use dynamic HTML reporting, which helps us in testing analysis by pinpointing the bottlenecks based on the reports. We can identify the specific areas that need attention, troubleshoot them, and report to the development team. The user-friendly GUI for creating and managing tests makes it very easy to drag and drop samplers. For example, if you want the HTTP sampler, you can drag and drop it and use it. For configurations, we have other samplers. For results, we have the view results samplers that we can also drag and drop. The UI is good in comparison with other tools. Regarding integration with CI/CD pipelines, we can create Apache JMeter scripts and use the Docker image. From the image, whatever scripting we have done can be connected. We can use the CI/CD pipelines and connect them with Jenkins tools and GitHub. Then we can create the pipelines and automate the end-to-end flow. For connecting Jenkins to Apache JMeter, JMeter plugins are available, and we have used them. Apache JMeter also has some third-party plugins, which are not native samplers. If we want to use custom test executions, we definitely use all the different plugins available in Apache JMeter. The capability to simulate users has impacted testing resources and outcomes as Apache JMeter is based on Java, which has a limit to the users in a particular load generator. Apache JMeter provides distributed load testing where you can connect multiple PCs in a master and slave concept, allowing you to pump the load with any number of users. In the past, I have done load testing with 10,000 users by connecting the Apache JMeter distributed network in BlazeMeter. There is a cloud version available, the updated BlazeMeter, and I used that. It is very easy to launch load generators in BlazeMeter, and then we can run the test, scaling up beyond 10,000 users.

Integrates well and supports end-to-end workflows with API integration
I deal with various tools including UiPath Test Cloud, Sauce Labs, Postman, and the latest feature, Copilot, so I use everything. A lot of tools are involved. There is a significant difference between Sauce Labs and UiPath Test Cloud; while Sauce Labs offers automation capabilities, the differentiating factor is test coverage. UiPath Test Cloud hits a higher percentage of test cases per lines of code, which means it may cover 7,000 lines in automated tests from 10,000, as opposed to 3,000-4,000 lines with Sauce Labs in a similar scenario. Sauce Labs is less expensive than some of the other tools, and while UiPath Test Cloud has become much better and easier to use than in the past, Sauce Labs was initially user-friendly, but now UiPath Test Cloud has improved significantly from its earlier, more complicated interface.
