"My organization's favorite tool for benchmarking"
4/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

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.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

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.

"Benchmarking is covered with JMeter "
5/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

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.

" JMeter evaluation for the REST API"
5/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

Easy to configure to test module of the REST API. Good tool for measuring the performance of the platform. For measuring the performance of the platform we have selected Apache JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org). Partners uploaded their JMX files to repository. The idea of these performance tests is to measure the performance of the different components of the platform through the methods from the REST API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

More effort is required to learn the tool thus it requires skilled testers. It doesn’t support JavaScript and by extension doesn’t automatically support AJAX requests. Complex applications that use dynamic content like CSRF tokens, or use JS to alter requests can be difficult to test using JMeter.

Memory consumption is high in GUI mode which causes it gives out errors for a large number of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Swiss Army knife for stress and load test"
4/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

It's open source, widely adopted and community supported. You can set up a http test visually directly or you can record a navigation and then modify it to test it.

There are many plugins for any sort of usage: for making soap calls, jdbc calls as well as the most used http/s calls. For very specific needs, you can use, among others, beans shell scripts so that you can customize your automations.

You can also generate tests to be run directly within your code (it generates junit test case class) so you can use Jmeter as a base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

Not very ergonomic for some aspects. Controller composition is not very intuitive. Also recording a navigation is quite simple but every time I have to google it every time because it needs two o three steps.

Ok, GUI is not the most important part of Jmeter as an engine but, after so many years (more than 20 years after its first release), I think that some improvements towards a more user-friendly approach should have been done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perform performance testing for web applications"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

I'm not sure if using an asynchronous I/O multi-processing model could provide greater scalability for these tests, since JMeter uses a classic threading model. It offers you many options and tools for performing automated tests and stress tests. With JMeter, it is very easy to set up manual steps that need to be performed automatically many times. How well it works with concurrent requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

The internal documentation must be reviewed and updated; the graphical interface is not very intuitive and you will have to read the available documentation carefully to find out how to start and create test plans. When used for non-Java applications, the application may crash from time to time and needs a restart; if you use a test plan with more than 1000 simultaneous virtual users, you will need a powerful computer to handle this load. Knowledge of the tool and an expert tester is required. It does not support JavaScript and, by extension, does not automatically support AJAX requests. It uses so many resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web applications performance testing.

Easy to understand and read,we can write scripts to test modules.

Jmeter is Free of cost and simple to install.

It is gives you all types of testing features like functional, automation.

It's best feature I like is it's load testing,with the help of script writing which supports language like Java, JavaScript etc.

Also this can be integrate with other tools like selenium, eclipse etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Load Test Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

Jmeter is a very useful load testing tool that does not require any installation difficulties. Jmeter can do a load test on the relevant web site. I also use this tool when I need to add test data to the database. I can create a test scenario and create data through this scenario. Other than that, I use it in web service tests. It is an ideal free load testing tool to test the web services to run a load test or to check if it is working instantly. The application interface is very easy and tests can be performed by adding ready particles to a project within a tree structure.Provides test steps to be performed in a connected environment before the projects that need to work under intensive conditions, as if live systems were being used by the users. The desired number of users can be sent to the system at specified intervals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

I don't have a negative opinion for the car in general. A handy tool that I use frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, we used this software with a considerable number of user. We were great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
