"We do not need to pay for the solution. It’s free."
"It's an open-source solution with a very large community and available documentation."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's a great platform because it's a SaaS solution, but it also builds the on-premises hosting solutions, so we have implemented a hybrid approach. BlazeMeter sets us up for our traditional hosting platforms and application stack as well as the modern cloud-based or SaaS-based application technologies."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."

"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."
"Support-wise, it could be better."
"We previously worked with native applications, and there weren't any good mobile app testing tools. We started working with React Native, which works well with Appium, but it would be good to see better integration; the way elements are displayed can be messy. React Native is very popular nowadays, so it's essential to have that compatibility."
"Image recognition could be improved. We have some images in our mobile applications. It should be able to run from the cloud, so we can automate the catcher."
"The tool needs to add a dependency manager."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you have previous experience with the solution, but it can be complicated for a novice user."
"The setup and installation were a problem for us at first."
"Configuration-wise, there is a lot of room for improvement."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
