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."With the help of the Mock Services, we are overcoming everything. Wherever we are facing issues, whether they will be long term or temporary, by implementing the Mock Services we can bypass the faulty components that are not needed for our particular testing."
"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"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."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"The most valuable aspect of BlazeMeter is its user-friendly nature, ability to conduct distributed load testing and comprehensive analysis and reporting features. It particularly excels in providing a clear and organized view of load test results."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"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 should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"My only complaint is about the technical support, where sometimes I found that they would not read into and understand the details of my question before answering it."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"The performance could be better. When reviewing finished cases, it sometimes takes a while for BlazeMeter to load. That has improved recently, but it's still a problem with unusually large test cases. The same goes for editing test cases. When editing test cases, it starts to take a long time to open those action groups and stuff."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
