Postman is really more about API testing, and was never aimed at performance/monitoring the way Apache JMeter does. If you find someone trying to use Postman this way... show them the way!
More threads supported, open-source, more reliable, and easy to work with. The User interface is very elegant and simple to use, as compared to other competitors.
It is very costlier than Jmeter to manager for a multi-seat license. All company does not procure the license for costlier tools. Maintaining Load Runner scripts is difficult than JMeter scripts. You need skill resources to create and maintain the loadrunner scripts and tools. …
Apache JMeter is better than IBM Rational Performance Tester as it is Open Source and Cost Free but in terms of User Inteface IBM RPT is better than JMeter. Also, IBM RPT has better Monitoring and better generated Performance Results Reports. I would always go with JMeter …
Although Selenium is designed for automating real-world tests in browser and JMeter is designed to perform load testing, in some cases, JMeter based tests may be enough to verify application functionality. These products don't directly compete with each other and it should be …
SoapUI is a bit easier to get rolling for people without development skills but if you have people with development skills JMeter shines. JMeter also uses significantly fewer resources on the client so you can be sure your testing isn’t restricted by the client machine.
Best open-source performance testing tool. JMeter has no alternative for performance testing. It is really easy to record and enhance scripts using this tool. It provides lots of free plugins which gives us much flexibility. It can be executed using GUI or non-GUI. Good tool …
It's very easy GUI helps the tester to perform various testing scenarios. Easy to configure test cases and modules which has proper and well-maintained documentation. Its an excellent tool for performance testing and running a variety of load tests, stress tests, and longevity …
It has very powerful capabilities and for free!!! It's ease of use and installation and easy to get started are highlights. A lot of community support and youtube videos from JMeter developers to help you understand various functionalities within JMeter to support you. You can …
Jmeter is better for projecting a path to look into. Crystal only allows you to pull the specific data and display a set of data that you request. Jmeter allows you to feel out the direction the data is going as you go. Crystal also can have issues with graphing data correctly.
I have evaluated LOADUI (web free version) and it was a very unstable tool and I could not rely on those results completely as I was not sure how the tool was performing. It only generated the top 10 less transaction times and when Jmeter was in use, it was very effective in …
LoadRunner and Silk Test were the tools I used in the past to compare with JMeter. I thought LoadRunner had a more commercial appearance and it comes with HP support from your service provider. It also comes at a steep price. JMeter and LoadRunner have a similar learning curve …
We found BlazeMeter's service to fit great with our JMeter scripts, since they execute our JMeter scripts and provide excellent reporting tools and graphs, besides multi region and infrastructure to support different configurations of multiple concurrent users. I have used HP …
I have used LoadStorm. But, with JMeter we have advantages for it being open source, as lot of our clients don't have the budget to invest in tools. It can be used to write complex scripts, multithreading framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and simultaneous …
NeoLoad is far ahead of JMeter in terms of reporting and user interface, the turn around time is less compared to JMeter as there are enough experts in market.
JMeter is well suited for Java applications where the user can script the scenario once and make changes to accommodate for as many numbers of users for load test execution. The image and selection of any files or exporting files scenario is handled well.
It is less appropriate to test Ajax applications where it is required to script click per use.
Easy of use - in generate load like HTTP requests, and processing/analyzing the responses. No coding is necessary at the basic level, just need to understand load testing and the infrastructure being tested.
Automatic management of things like cookies to help with session state support - so you don't specifically have to worry about it or handle it
Lots of testing/configuration options to suit your needs in making the right load generation (sampling requests), and analyzing the results, including any pre and post processing of the results first. Things like the Beanshell/BSF pre/post processors, response assertion, regular expression extractor, XPath extractor, CSV data set config
There is a JMeter cloud service called BlazeMeter that I think would be useful for those that need to scale up high load without provisioning their own systems. I've not personally tried it though, but I recently attended a meetup presentation that highlighted nice useful features that BlazeMeter provides. One should evaluate the service if they are considering JMeter and need to expand beyond existing hardware resources.
Jmeter requires many tweaks with respect to its configuration file and thread properties. users need to edit theses files themselves. There could be some interface where we can edit this fields.
Jmeter cannot handle more threads and hangs up when we increase the number of threads. This causes lot of inconvenience. In these situations, user can be notified that such change would be lead to slow performance so that user can do as required. The same appears when we try to view huge files on graph listener.
Jmeter should optimize the read and write access to output csv since it acts as overhead to the I/O performance. This affects our test results for the application which we are testing.
Price, Wiki and user sharing. Having access to the information provided by the developers and other open source providers is key for me. The ability to share information and get answers directly is very important to success in software testing. And the price of this product currently is amazing. Too many companies charge way too much money for products that are far behind in their value and pertinence
I can jump right into a new test plan and start building from scratch. The natural progression from test plan to thread group and then designing the basic format of the process is very streamlined and smooth. With only slight modifications I can build out a very complex model from a very basic beginning.
I have been using JMeter for the last year. By using this tool, you can make sure the system will work under varied loads. It helps us to simulate real time scenarios by creating required virtual users and make sure the application will work under load. Perform load, stress, and stability testing using JMeter.
I have used LoadRunner and Silkperformer, and so far Jmeter turns out be the easiest to use of all these. While each of them have their own ROI, Jmeter can be picked by anyone in hours and start testing within a day. While with other tools, we need to get license, install them (takes a while) and setup tests and firewalls, etc.
