Tools for load testing – JMeter or Loadrunner?

[Paul]

Hi,

I’d be interested to know first hand experiences of using JMeter and Loadrunner. Are there limitations to the open source tool?

Anyone have experience of both and have a clear preference?

IT Professionals who read reviews for these solutions also read reviews on our site for StormRunner Load. https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/comparisons/apache-jmeter_vs_hpe-stormrunner-load

I hope this is helpful.

I have been using LoadRunner for more than 6 years. It is the industry standard for performance testing and supports a wide range of applications.
It may be difficult to use it at the beginning. But once you start using it, you realize that it is a very powerful tool. The free version comes with 50 users but if you are looking for a much larger load, you may have to take the cost into consideration.
As far as JMeter is concerned I have used it just once. But my preference would always be LoadRunner
