Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using GTmetrix in our organization for many years. It works really great. It gives a wide analysis of the site performance using many advanced options and many vital options, so we may use it to know where we are lacking the site performance and with the help of their nice documentation and detailed report, it is an easy process to resolve the issues and improve the site performance. It also helps in the SEO in an indirect manner.

Pros

Its user interface is easy to use and well documented.
It gives complete analysis and detailed report of the site performance.
It uses many factors while determining the score, so it is a reliable & efficient service.
It allows us to use the custom region, device, or/and browser settings according to our requirements, so we can analyze the performance on many devices/locations directly from GTmetrix.

Cons

They might consider improving their checking process speed, it often takes a huge time to display the performance report. This is even longer for non-logged-in users.
Previously two different options of Google's Pagespeeds and Yahoo's lighthouse were shown in the report section, now only combined report is shown. I personally like the two reports from different sources.
Non-tech savvy persons might not find it so easy to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

GTmetrix is very well suited for small organizations or startups that do not have sufficient technical staff for site optimization. GTmetrix also comes with the free version, which allows users to use their service for free for up to three websites, which is a good option. However, this might not be the best option for a large organization that works in different technical domains and have a good number of technical staff.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GTmetrix on a regular basis throughout the organization, since it helps us get insights from website performance issues and what we can do to improve that.

It gathers data from PageSpeed, YSlow and Waterfall (like devtools), besides offering some paid features like timings, video and history.

Pros

Really complete report of performance issues.
Get reports from PageSpeed and YSlow at same time.
Gives a score from each separate tool, also displays loading time, page size and total requests very easily.

Cons

The user interface is a little bit confusing.
You can't choose a different test server (since we're from Brazil, it doesn't reflect exactly what most of our users are experiencing).
There's a wait time (queue) in case there are other users using the platform at the same time.

Likelihood to Recommend

GTmetrix is an excellent tool if you need insights and a complete report on your website's performance and what you can do about it. Google PageSpeed, for instance, offers more features in order to get better results.

Although the user interface is inferior, I rather use GTmetrix than PageSpeed or YSlow separately.
