We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"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."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"Creating the script is very easy and user friendly."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this."
"It's a very powerful tool."
"Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate."
"The user interface is fine."
"We can measure metrics like hits per second and detect deviations or issues through graphs. We can filter out response times based on timings and identify spikes in the database or AWS reports."
"It offers easy integration with third-party tools like Dynatrace, Splunk, etc."
"The most valuable part of the product is the way you can scale the basic testing easily."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"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."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise, I need to spend a lot of time training people, while on other low-code or no-code platforms, I need not invest that much time."
"Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"Currently, when we try open LRE we encounter cookie banner issues. However, I'm not sure if it is within the enterprise solution or with the vendors."
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC."
"I'd rate the scalability a six out of ten. The main reason is that it's a very expensive application. Other companies might not be able to afford it. For example, if we need to test an application with 10,000 concurrent users, the license can cost a lot of money. That's where OpenText tools shoot themselves in the foot compared to other tools. Because of the price, many companies, like one I used to work for, decided not to renew their licenses and switched to open-source testing tools."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
