"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"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 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 initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"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."
