    Eugene A.

Market leader in the world of performance testing

  • July 30, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

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)
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

  • July 20, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Nice tool, ideal for initial testing of web apps

  • July 08, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Open source, relatively easy to use, online tutorial, documentation is easy to read
What do you dislike about the product?
User UI can be improved, lack of more complex examples in the doc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gatlin is a nice tool to load test simple web apps; in more complex scenarios, it can be useful to test something before a more complex load testing approach. All in all, it's a useful tool for web devs

Gatling review from a QA point of view

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gatling provides various options for performance testing like control on the number of users,
control on how the ingestion of users and triggers
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for only scala programming language
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gatling helped in understanding the behaviour of the application during peak load.

Massive scale, great customization, great customer support

  • July 04, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The customer support has been some of the best I have come across.
We required complex use cases for requests and gatling's DSL supported all the customizations we needed.

Being able to scale and test load test at massive traffic (the main reason we opted for gatling - we wanted to test at 1 million requests per second from multiple regions) has been amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
The public API for automating your scenarios rather limiting. i.e you can run simulations but not create them. Perhaps that has changed now

Although now it supports Java, when we started they only supported Scala.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to test at a massive scale, generating traffic of 1 million requests per second which was coming in from multiple regions. Gatling integrated easily with AWS and allowed us to test our application.
As a developer it provided a lot of flexibility to generate complex traffic scenarios, and the UI looked good enough to be presented to managers.

Gatling user since 2017

  • June 29, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

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

Powerful but involved. Easier than Java

  • June 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lots of tools to express the testing scenario needed. You can automate many steps and have them graphed nicely in an understandable way at the end of the run. After parametrized, same scenario can be run ove multiple targets for comparison.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too steep learning curve, and very opinated about how to write the tests. Stuff needs to be idempotent or pure-functions, so some branch decisions are very hard to do. That until they removed some feature I used. Now it is impossible to do some decisions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a target load that is hard to produce manually, and a expected flow of many steps. Gatling graphs help perceive where are the bottlenecks. Also keeps the test reproductiple within the many developers

Robust Load Testing tool

  • June 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a robust load-testing tool out in the market. It doesn't load your computer much when testing with 1000s of virtual users. Because of the scripting-based tool, it is easy to tweak and try out different options. It supports multi-languages - Scala, Java and Kotlin.

It also provides the ability to perform load testing for websocket based applications.

I love the beautiful reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of no UI, there is a little of bit steep learning curve for non-programmers which could be frustrating. Documentation could be more precise like currently, for maven projects, documentation says for Java 8 use this dependency, but for Java 11 use another dependancy. I wasn't sure if it supports a higher version of Java because I had Java 19 installed and was getting some errors. I thought it could be due to an unsupported Java version.

Later got to know it supports all versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to test a feature implemented using WebSocket, and Gatling had the ability. Also reports are beautiful, easy to read and understand. I was able to tweak the testing scenarios easily. Didn't need to re-record .

Easy to use, great results!

  • June 27, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. There's a great firefox plugin available that lets you record you actions for which you want to perform a load test.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to have a little programming experience to tweaks the results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on long duration load tests.

Gatling API Performance Testing Tool

  • June 16, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gatling gives a scripting platform narrowing down the gap between developer and tester. It also helps in shift-left and easy integration in CI-CD pipeline achieving frequent deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gatling being a new tool in the market and an emerging one trying to deliver the most by supporting http, JDBC and MQTT Protocol in three different languages still is not comparable with other tools such as LR or JMeter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Gatling for testing our api in different environments with different userload and scopes. We use Gatling for API testing along with Performance testing.
