We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Visual Studio Test Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"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 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."
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"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."
"Visual Studio is the easiest to use."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"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 whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The solution is very stable."
"I was satisfied with the support given by customer service."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"You can easily write code, test, and deploy within the same environment. It is a mature tool. It regularly receives new updates and versions. In my opinion, it's one of the best products by Microsoft for developers."
"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"The tool fails to offer better parameterization to allow it to run the same script across different environments, making it a feature that needs a little improvement."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to be able to easily integrate this solution with our continuous integration tools, such as Jenkins."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its scalability."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
