Yes I also recomend them. To me they are the best one!

Hi,
it's very great informative stuff shared here useful one for many others who needs this kind of stuff,…
i appreciate this effort,..
best regards,..

Two others I have used - which are very useful , one is free and the other costs:
1)Jmeter
2)HP LoadRunner
I've used on both DB2 and SQL Server

Satya,
From an application stack perspective - I found JMeter very useful - mainly because it allows the developers to design test patterns. I haven't seen any issues, but if you have seen issues, let me know.
It is important in testing - that both user load and stres testing occur . Benchmarked and documented.
A key issue is creating the underlying "noise" to allow realistic testing. For example, if testing on a shared SAN - then recreating the underlying cross traffic is key.
To that effect HP Load Runner is very good
