Overall Satisfaction with IBM Rational Performance Tester
In my organization, IBM Rational Performance Tester is mainly used by the Quality Department to ensure that our applications is delivered to our customers according to the agreed SLA Agreement. We mainly use it along with JMeter depending on the project's requirements and project's budget. IBM RPT provides a variety of features that can be helpful for any team that needs to conduct Performance Testing, like having ready-made scripts that can help you create your performance scripts also, there are great live monitoring features. Also, IBM RPT is compatible with all IBM Tools like IBM Case Manager, etc. So you can conduct Performance Tests on them easily.

IBM Rational Performance Tester is better in many aspects when compared to Apache JMeter. For example, you have ready made scripts to assist you, You have better monitoring of different performance metrics and can generate better reports that can be exported as HTML. The only downside of IBM RPT is that it can be very costly at times while JMeter is for free which is a huge advantage. That's why we try using in our organization a combination of both as much as we can.
