Application Development Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/15/2022 "JMeter - The Jack of load testing" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? I have been using Jmeter for stress testing of our application. It has various support for HTTP, HTTPS and POSTs, GETs request support and many more. We can test a single API with various requests with the help of the CSV support that Jmeter offers. All requests, CSV, and API body are easily configurable because of which Specialists use this tool. The results are recorded in the form which we want. Various report generation parameters are available like graphs, tables, etc., Even failed API can be separated and highlighted with RED Colour, which helps greatly. It offers a scripting language through the JMeter GUI that enables you to perform a wide range of tasks without programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? It consumes lot of system ram, which limits the user to work parallelly. Internet connection has to be very good. Else, API fails often. So the system and internet have to be dedicated for Jmeter testing seperately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? Manually hitting thousands of requests to get the performance of API is not feasible. With Jmeter, within a few minutes, we get results for tons of hits in a graph or table format with which we can determine the API performance. It helps in understanding how the API would behave in real-time when tons of users log on to the application. In accordance with Jmeter results, we can work on API performance improvement prior to the application goes live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Scientist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/5/2023 "Easy to use and efficient for quicker load testing" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? The user interface is very user friendly and easy to use for QA's. They can easily change the parameters like number of users to send as load in website and other testing params as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? Well I didn't had any bad experience while using JMeter but obviously there is always room for improvement. If we can somehow integrate complete Automation or CI/CD with it then it can be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? JMeter is very good for load testing. The testers can easily and quickly check for the load testing. How many parallel users are bearable by the app server. This is helping us to plan the optimisation part of our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Associate Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/14/2022 "Apache Jmeter Overview and Review." 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? I have been using Apache Jmeter for the automatic closure and validation of some validation tasks in ServiceNow, The best thing about Jmeter is it is open source and easy to use and also lightweight. It can simply test multiple VM Servers and services running on those in fractions of seconds which if we manually do is a headache task. Easy to use UI to create validation scripts with ActiveX UI all we have to do is fill some specific information regarding the server and it is ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? I have been using it for VM servers validation, but if we go further for some complex running status like services or servers having authentication i.e ID Password, then using Jmeter is quite a bit difficult. Sometimes it keeps on checking the servers for infinite time and has to stop may be a glitch or what but it is required to closed and restart again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? I have been using Apache Jmeter for Validating VM servers and Closing Validation tasks on ServiceNow automatically on the basis of the result given by Jmeter after running Jmeter Scripts.

Data Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/6/2023 "Easy to use tools for testing" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? A good tool for doing the load testing of an application. It is very easy to use and very helpful for doing the quick testing before doing the application release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? The user interface can be made very more user friendly by applying new UI/UX designs that are attractive. One suggestion is to use different new color combinations for different tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? My QA team is continuously using this tool. They have implemented automation testing and before making any release public they do the load testing using Jmeter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? We build and deploy traffic scenarios for the server system that I'm testing using jimeter. including HTTPS and WSS requests.

GM Gianluigi M. Freelance IT Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/18/2022 "Best tool for stress test and functional testing" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? JMeter is very intuitive and easy to use. UI is simple but full of features. With many plugins available for free and the possibility to write them on your own, the features are infinity. Test cases can be built with various steps, each one controlled programmatically if you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? When used to execute parallelized stress tests CPU and RAM become very stressed. Some UI improvements can be done to make easier the daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? We use JMeter principally to stress tests our rest services. It's easy to check the response and execute additional steps programmatically. We also use JMeter sometimes to execute functional tests, also WEB UI tests checking HTML response body elements. Very useful is the possibility to turn on/off variables depending on your target testing environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Associate System Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/30/2022 "Performance Testing Tool" 4/5 What do you like best about Apache JMeter? The beast thinks to test services with multiple users at the same time. We can test the performance of the product, and it also generates views in proper graphs, tables, and many more things, so we can easily test how your APIs and services are performing. We can even set up bracket tests one by one very easily. Just create scripts and add them into Apache JMeter to see the magic. It's all done automatically for you. Create multiple users, hit them, and it shows you the results, which you can also download in Excel format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache JMeter? I tested a service with extensive authentication, and at that time, I had to create multiple scripts because it does not support JavaScript. If it supported JavaScript, it would be easier for developers. I think the UI of Apache JMeter needs to be changed because it is not very user-friendly. It is not directly linked to connect to PTaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache JMeter: to use your service's performance testing and different software products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache JMeter solving and how is that benefiting you? I am working on the company service IT5 (web application). At that time, I am using it to test my service performance for multiple 10 uses per second. This Apache JMeter is able to do this task. We successfully tested in JMeter locally and generated the scripts. I used this script, then uploaded it in PTaas to test globally, so Apache JMeter is playing a lead role in performance testing.
