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."The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"In our company, various teams use BlazeMeter, particularly appreciating its cloud license software, which supports up to 5,000 users. BlazeMeter's cloud capabilities allow us to load test or simulate traffic from any location worldwide, such as Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and even specific cities like Delhi. So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"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."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"One problem, while we are executing a test, is that it will take some time to download data. Let's say I'm performance testing with a high-end load configuration. It takes a minimum of three minutes or so to start the test itself. That's the bad part of the performance testing... every time I rerun the same test, it is downloaded again... That means I have to wait for three to four minutes again."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."
"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."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in how Katalon Studio works with iOS applications, especially with React Native applications."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
