Lacking support and security, but has multifaceted capabilities

BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market. I used BlazeMeter within the past 12 months. BlazeMeter is a stable solution. We have not done a lot…

Helps save money, eliminate on-premises infrastructure, and scale as needed

We use OpenText LoadRunner Cloud for performance testing of our applications. We migrated from on-premises LoadRunner Professional to LoadRunner Cloud because it offers geographically distributed compute resources that can be scaled up and down on demand, optimizing costs OpenText LoadRunner…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."

"The product's initial setup phase was simple."

"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."

"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."

"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."

"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."

"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."

More BlazeMeter pros

"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."

"The solution can scale."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."

"The fact that the solution supports multiple protocols such as open source, VuGen, TruWeb, TruClient, and SAP is very important because these protocols help us to concentrate on what is really needed to produce performance tests. If something is not supported, you have to use other tools or find other ways of assimilating loads."

"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."

"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."

"The usability and ability to integrate with other solutions is quite good. When I use it in on Azure, then Red Hat is the most likely solution I use. When I use AWS, then I tend to use Lambda functions. In either case, it works well and you can use it either way."

"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."

Cons

"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."

"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 product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."

"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."

"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."

"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."

"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."

More BlazeMeter cons

"The product must provide agents to monitor servers."

"The product price could be more affordable."

"The support team provides delayed responses."

"One area for improvement in LoadRunner Cloud, especially for agile models, is its limited support for functional testing alongside its robust non-functional testing capabilities."

"Improvements to the reporting would be good."

"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."

"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."

"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free and open source."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the product's price two on a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive. The solution is not expensive."

"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."

"It is an averagely priced product."

"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is very reasonable and the licensing is straightforward."

"It's a very expensive solution"

"Pricing is dependent on what you're referring to. If you're talking about the cloud, it's likely competitive. However, if you're talking about the on-premise version, professional or enterprise licenses are required. Prices are on the high side. They are not cheap."

"We make use of virtual user hours. We buy time in the LoadRunner Cloud. It costs around $80,000."

"It is neither costly nor cheap. It is not too high and not too low. I know the price of other tools, and LoadRunner Cloud's price is in the medium range."

"It is expensive compared to other tools."

"The solution’s price is considerably high."
