We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials.""I really like the recording because when I use the JMeter the scripting a lot of recording it takes me a lot of time to get used to. The BlazeMeter the recording is quick.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""In our company, various teams use BlazeMeter, particularly appreciating its cloud license software, which supports up to 5,000 users. BlazeMeter's cloud capabilities allow us to load test or simulate traffic from any location worldwide, such as Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and even specific cities like Delhi. So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally.""BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing.""Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options.""BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool.""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 is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously.""The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices.""It's helpful for me to test on different devices.""It is a scalable solution.""I have found that BrowserStack is stable.""I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT.

Cons
"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain.""I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on.""If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market.""The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved.""Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options.""A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools.""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."

More BlazeMeter Cons →

"The solution is slow.""If you are inactive for 30 minutes, the solution will close.""Occasionally, there are disruptions in the connection which can interfere with our testing processes, especially when testing on phones.""Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier.""BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally.""While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA.""We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.""We had some execution issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
  • "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."
  • "The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
  • "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."
  • "My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
  • "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."
  • "When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

  • "This solution costs less than competing products."
  • "The price is fine."
  • "There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
  • "BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
  • "The price of BrowserStack is high."
  • "Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
  • "My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."
  • "As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."
