"This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"The features that I appreciate are quite basic. It is easy to ramp up the threads and start calling the application. A lot of connectors can already be found within Apache JMeter, but we are not using the entire set because the integration between the customers and platform is based on HTTP. We are just going to produce lots of HTTP sequences."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
"Tool for load testing and performance testing with good API support and good technical support. Tricentis NeoLoad is absolutely stable and scalable."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"The dashboards give extensive statistics, which help with quick report preparation and analysis."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"The UI could be better."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"Sometimes it's complicated to maintain the test cases. It's much easier than in JMeter, however. I'm not sure if this depends so much on NeoLoad, or is more based on the environment that we are testing."
"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."
"The UI lacks sufficient object rendering."
"The solution’s pricing is higher compared to other tools. Though the product’s reports are accurate, it needs to be more detailed like other tools."
"Support wasn't able to solve a technical issue."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
