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."It is a stable solution. When we compare BlazeMeter with other tools in the market, I can say that the solution's overall performance has also been very good in our company."
"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 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 feature that stands out the most is their action groups. They act like functions or methods and code, allowing us to reuse portions of our tests. That also means we have a single point for maintenance when updates are required. Instead of updating a hundred different test cases, we update one action group, and the test cases using that action group will update."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that BlazeMeter provides easy access to its users while also ensuring that its reporting functionalities are good."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"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."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"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."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"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 should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The Timeline Report panel has no customization options. One feature that I missed was not having a time filter, which I had in ELK. For example, there are only filter requests for a time of less than 5 seconds."
"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."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"Now we are having difficulties in using it and had to limit our automation experts to the features that Katalon allows us to use for free. It was free access and they claimed that it would be free for all time."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"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."
