We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"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."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."
"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."
"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."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"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."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very 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."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
