We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One thing that we are doing a lot with the solution, and it's very good, is orchestrating a lot of JMeter agents. This feature has helped us a lot because we can reuse other vendors' performance scripts that they have used with JMeter before."
"The orchestration feature is the most valuable. It's like the tourist backend component of BlazeMeter. It allows me to essentially give BlazeMeter multiple JMeter scripts and a YAML file, and it will orchestrate and execute that load test and all those scripts as I define them."
"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."
"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within Runscope would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
