Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, Tricentis, OpenText and others in Load Testing Tools."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."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"The orchestration feature is the most valuable. It's like the tourist backend component of BlazeMeter. It allows me to essentially give BlazeMeter multiple JMeter scripts and a YAML file, and it will orchestrate and execute that load test and all those scripts as I define them."
"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."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"The standout feature of k6 is its strong focus on API performance testing."
"The tool's big advantage is that it is more performance-test oriented for experienced testers who know what they are doing. In a normal working setup, performance engineers frequently work with DevOps and development teams. For these teams, k6 Open Source's syntax is much simpler and easier to understand and apply in the working process."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"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 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."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."
