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."The stability is good."
"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 solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"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 scanning capability needs improvement."
"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."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."
"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."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
