  1. Hello,
    Thank you for your comparison, still there are some errors for Apache JMeter:
    - Result Reporting : As of 3.3, it has Live Reporting into InfluxDB or Graphite and a Web Report can be generated OOTB at end of test, see http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html and http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/realtime-results.html
    - IP Spoofing : It is supported, see http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request search IP Spoofing
    - Cloud solution : There are at least four providers : Redline13, Flood.io, LoadFocus, Blazemeter, you can use this project for AWS https://github.com/oliverlloyd/jmeter-ec2 and see also https://jaxenter.com/netbeans/yameter-cloud-load-testing-everybody
    - Android : There is no need for additional tool AFAIK

    Thank you if you can update your comparison.
