Best Performance Testing Software
What do you like best about the product?
We needed to do performance testing on our mobile application then. It was Gatling that allowed us to achieve our goal and expose specific components that was causing bottlenecks. The flexibility of Scala allowed us to be creative in the performance development. The automatic capture of objects was also helpful and made it easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It worked well for us. Although our team was technical and learned to use Scala on the fly. It was fairly straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exposing the specific calls to the backend especially when doing the load test.

Powerful load tests in an expressive, readable language
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to describe load tests in an expressive, readable DSL (Domain Specific Language) is wonderful. It helps with understanding and documentation of tests. The non-blocking request model used underneath results in a scalable load test framework.
What do you dislike about the product?
More protocol support would be helpful to test legacy systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to describe load tests in an expressive, readable DSL (Domain Specific Language) is a huge benefit. Load tests are able to be code reviewed and versioned controlled much like the rest of the software.
Market leader in the world of performance testing
What do you like best about the product?
- Gatling is easy to use (even when you do not know Scala at all! I wrote tests on my first day)
- Good OOTB reporting
- Gatling Scala-based DSL allows to write complex scenarios, which are impossible with some other competitors (for example, unpack a protobuf response and assert its elements)
- Impressive performance based on async Akka toolkit
- Cloud managed solution is also available

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I *dislike* about Gatling, I really have just one point here:
- Gatling is relatively new so community is smaller than of peers (if you have to write non-trivial solutions, you are likely to be the first to do it)
- Gatling is relatively new so community is smaller than of peers (if you have to write non-trivial solutions, you are likely to be the first to do it)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gatling is a great solution for load testing due to its extensibility, performance and out of the box reporting.
It is easy to compose and run the load suite in a matter of hours, even when you have no previous experience.
Gatling repeatedly allowed me to identify weak chains in the complex application environment and address them.

Extremely versatile and powerful performance testing tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is great that Gatling offers a free open source version as well as paid for enterprise options. What sets Gatling apart from other leading performance testing tools is that it is extremely flexible and versatile as you can pretty much develop any logic to support your Gatling tests. Gatling is also continuously improving and coming out with new features which makes the tool even more powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some performance testers might not like Gatling because it is very dev oriented compared to other performance testing tools. It also doesn't support as many protocols as you'd get with HP's tooling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Due to it's versatility, we are able to use Gatling to carry out all of our performance testing needs. We have very complex user journeys that are run at extremely high volumes and we wouldn't be able to carry out these tests if it wasn't for Gatling.
Gatling user since 2017
What do you like best about the product?
Writing performance tests as a code, gradle support.
Very good documentation and a very useful community.
Great memory management, easy support of tens of thousands of users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Did not yet find a perfect way to debug the tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Simulating our UI built requests - a large variety of endpoints and parameters, that cause sync and async server responses.
2.Simulation various scenarios with thousands of users

QA
What do you like best about the product?
Features are well documented. Easy to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Everything is working fine and fast
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance tests
Best alternative for expensive load testing tools
What do you like best about the product?
Reliable results, ability to generate huge volumes of vusers, much more less licensing cost, small hardware foot print, cloud and on-prem options
What do you dislike about the product?
difficult process in setting up them in client setup, hard to get response from finance, very slow response. We need to keep on follow up with them to give documents and necessary details so we can pay them..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
generate huge volumes of load with smaller infra foot print, provide reliable results by being less expensive than rest..
Great product and great community
What do you like best about the product?
I really like all the flexibility that Gatling as a tool provides. Gatling Enterprise dashboard is extremely useful.
And the best part is the community. I always get feedback in an insanely quick time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Gatling documentation could have more complete examples. Sometimes I cannot find my way areound it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gatling gives me so much flexibility when trying to achieve performance testing goals
perks of using Gatling
What do you like best about the product?
Gatling is one of the most wonderful opensource tool for testing solution the best part is the performance testing it does. We can modify the load tests using some another IDEs like VS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Except the fact that we need to have prior knowledge of scripting everything is amazing about Gatling, also we need to involve some third parties for integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me a lot in load testing, It also allows to modify the tests according to the requirement with the use of Visual Studio. Helping a lot for continous Integration and continous deployment.
Great tool for your load tests
What do you like best about the product?
This tools allows to fine tune your loding tests by implementing custom logic in Scala. This is really appreciated when you are working on high trafic website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be hard to implement in case you're not familiar with Scala language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used this tool to implement custom load strategies by ramping the number of simultaneous users you want to simulate for some time, than decrease little by little.
I've also tested some custom business API test cases that could be hard to test with other simple tools.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to use Gatling if you have custom business logics to implement and some time to spend on this topic
