"I became a performance engineer because of jmeter"
5/5
What do you like best about Apache JMeter?

The ability to use plugins and libraries and even all kinds of code within jmeter, it's a well rounded tool with the ability to use every possible output and input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache JMeter?

The connection between master and slave needs to get better support and interface, it's not bad but it can be much better if it had a UI that saves the master and slave connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.
