So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally."

"BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."

"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."

"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"Its stability needs improvement."
