Tool has lots of features to validate load, very impressive. Supports CMD as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes threads stuck then need to kill the jmeter & restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very light weight tool and can be installed easily,As it is an open source tool you need not to be worried on license. There are multiple plugins that are available in the market and can be installed easily according to the requirement. Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be used only on web applications, consumption of memory is high in GUI Mode and performance testing like Load, Stress and Endurance with high user load are preferred to run in NON-GUI mode. Complex scenario cannot be done using JMeter thread group. Recording in this is complex, as we need to setup the proxy manually

It supports only Java coding for custom coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should add more security features and better to collaborate with cloud services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Jmeter scripts are great for load testing. I like the parameterization strategy offered by JMeter because I can reproduce better the scenarios of real-life by introducing the variables and randomizing in my tests. Also, JMeter extensions are accessible in the open-source sector to extend current JMeter capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While installation is very simple, some problems may occur if it is not installed by someone with experience. These problems will force the client to set up a lot of things to access a condensed HTML document or will require him to uninstall the respective JMeter module.

Functional ,unit as well as performance testing is done very smoothely. Multiple options for testing and configuration of sample requests for load generation.Blaze meter is helpful to scale up high load withought enagaging own system.Script customization is quite staright forward.Elements such as listeners helps to visualize results and their comparison as well.Functional testing as it has set of assertions and extractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

System resources are not that used.Bit difficult to write assertions or advanced script in jmeter.Transaction scenarios lack quality naming convention .Finding plugins are quite difficult some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parameters can replicate real time scenarios which is very handy.Cookie management is very efficient along with thread groups,samplers,listeners are very effective.Direct interaction with services bypassing,easy to follow record, replay which helps creating efficient tests.

Large load handling is troublesome.Scripting for own assertions or advanced script emulating non preffered action is complex.Thread hold is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Jmeter is very useful for parameterizing tests and loading info, which means it has a great performance testing. JMeter will allow you to evaluate if you need to extend outside the existing hardware infrastructure. It can maximize the access to the CSV data by reading it correctly, as the I / O efficiency is overhead. It also offers a very simple user experience, many plug-in modules and a range of graphical maps and descriptive notes to the audience. You could even use the chrome BlazeMeter addon to capture, retrieve, and create JMSX files in HTML Cookie Manager for an app-based check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JMeter's set up is complicated. I had to disable it from the device manager and then install it from the edge, to cause a check at the app level. I wish this could be done automatically just like any other similar tool on the market. Also, I want to see a true JMeter application, not a JAR file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Jmeter has a very nice user interface. There is a JMeter web host named BlazeMeter which I feel is helpful for anyone that wants to expand heavy loads without having their own applications. Items like the Beanshell, hashtable extractor, XPath extractor, CSV information collection are all very helpful. It handled many aspects that help us to conceptualize and measure the results. Also, you can use test fragments to encompass the settings of interchangeable parts in a test segment that you can export for other experiments. This way, there is no beginning time or estimated time for the experiment for the next version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike about Apache Jmeter. It's just perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
