Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials.""It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports.""The solution offers flexibility with its configurations.""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 extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable.""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.""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."

"Visual Studio is the easiest to use.""The most valuable features are the SSIS reports, the deployment models, and the ability to interact with other Microsoft tools.""We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available.""The tool has highly detailed debugging features.""The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about.""The user interface is very friendly.""It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us.""The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."

Cons
"The reporting capabilities could be improved.""BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist.""If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market.""I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on.""In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports.""Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations.""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.""For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."

More BlazeMeter Cons →

"The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use.""I would like to see more integration in the solution.""It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port.""The documentation is limited.""It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve.""Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey.""The pricing of this solution should be lowered.""The data flow can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
  • "The solution is free and open source."
  • "The product isn't cheap, but it isn't the most expensive on the market. During our proof of concept, we discovered that you get what you pay for; we found a cheaper solution we tested to be full of bugs. Therefore, we are willing to pay the higher price tag for the quality BlazeMeter offers."
  • "The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
  • "It's consumption-based pricing but with a ceiling. They're called CVUs, or consumption variable units. We can use API testing, GUI testing, and test data, but everything gets converted into CVUs, so we are free to use the platform in its entirety without getting bogged down by a license for certain testing areas. We know for sure how much we are going to spend."
  • "My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
  • "I rate the product's price two on a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive. The solution is not expensive."
  • "When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

  • "For the cloud services option, you buy a subscription per account or per user. This costs around $52 a month per person."
  • "I think that the pricing is quite good."
  • "The pricing is expensive."
  • "We pay for the solution annually and the price could be reduced."
  • "There is a paid version of the solution as well as a community version that is free."
  • "Visual Studio Test Professional is a very expensive solution."
  • "The tool is expensive in my region."
  • "We pay a yearly licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional, which is expensive."
