Enterprise performance testing platform that gives us a centralized place to execute load tests, do reporting, and have different levels of user access control
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. The reporting feature runs parallel with orchestration. BlazeMeter gives me aggregated reports, automates them, and allows me to execute scheduled tests easily on my on-premise infrastructure. BlazeMeter's range of test tools is fantastic. BlazeMeter supports all sorts of different open-source tools, like JMeter and Gatling, and different web driver versions, like Python and YAML. If it's open-source, BlazeMeter supports it for the most part. It's very important to me that BlazeMeter is a cloud-based and open-source testing platform because, from a consumer perspective, I don't have to host that infrastructure myself. Everything my end users interact with in the front-end UI is SaaS and cloud-based. We don't have to manage and deploy all of that, which takes a lot of burden off of my company. The open-source testing platform is fantastic. They support all of the open-source tools, which gives us the latest and greatest that's out there. We don't have to deal with proprietary formats. A secondary bonus of being open-source and so widely used is that there is a tremendous amount of help and support for the tools that BlazeMeter supports.

User-friendly, cheap, and quick to set up
We use the solution for stress-testing of some APIs and web applications It's too early to note how it's improved the company. The first test, already gave us a really quick answer. That was okay. It's actually quite easy to set it up. You can change your upgrade plan at any time. The pricing is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"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."
"The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"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."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"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."
"I don't think I can generate a JMX file unless I run JMeter, which is one of my concerns when it comes to BlazeMeter."
"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 product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."
"A lot of time you start the stress testing, and you sign the log in again, and I want to get rid of that. It's just not clear to me how to do it yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free and open source."
"It is an averagely priced product."
"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 licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"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."
"You can buy plans that range from free to $500 a month."
