Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options.""It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly.""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 solution offers flexibility with its configurations.""Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most.""They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us.""It is a stable solution. When we compare BlazeMeter with other tools in the market, I can say that the solution's overall performance has also been very good in our company.""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."

Cons
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations.""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.""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 don't think I can generate a JMX file unless I run JMeter, which is one of my concerns when it comes to BlazeMeter.""Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved.""The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots.""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."

More BlazeMeter Cons →

"The reporting side of things is really complicated. It's difficult to get out exactly what you're looking for, there are almost too many options.""There is no analytical dashboard.""Technical support is slow and wastes a lot of time, so it needs to be improved."

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."
  • More BlazeMeter Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We purchased a license for two years."
  • "It costs $8,600 yearly and we have the Cloud, which is an additional $800. Our perpetual license is $800 and then the Cloud functionality with our 500 users is the $8,600."

    Overview

    BlazeMeter ensures delivery of high-performance software by enabling DevOps teams to quickly and easily run open-source-based performance tests against any mobile app, website or API at massive scale to validate performance at every stage of software delivery.

    The rapidly growing BlazeMeter community has more than 100,000 developers and includes prominent global brands such as Adobe, Atlassian, Gap, NBC Universal, Pfizer and Walmart as customers. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif., with its research and development in Tel Aviv.

    RadView WebLOAD is an enterprise-scale load testing solution that enables your organization to simulate massive user loads and understand how your application, servers, database, and other components behave to identify bottlenecks. The solution allows you to easily and rapidly record sessions and turn them into robust test scripts that you can execute in a variety of realistic runtime scenarios. RadView WebLOAD is capable of generating reliable and real-life load scenarios even for the most complex systems. It supports Windows and Linux OS systems, and is suitable for organizations of all sizes. 

    RadView WebLOAD Features

    RadView WebLOAD has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • IDE: IDE full form is an integrated development environment that helps users edit and debug load scripts.
    • Load generation: RadView WebLOAD’s load generation feature generates load from on-premise and the cloud.
    • Correlation: RadView WebLOAD offers automatic connection of the dynamic values such as session IDs and allows a script to be executed dynamically with many virtual clients.
    • Analytics: With the solution’s analytics, you gain access to a set of predefined analysis reports that provides performance data.
    • Performance Measurements Manager (PMM): The integrated PMM collects server-side information throughout test runs.
    • Web dashboard: With RadView WebLOAD’s web dashboard, test results can be executed from any web browser. 
    • Code-free parameterization: RadView WebLOAD turns recorded values into dynamic parameters, including date, time, input files, random strings, and more. These values are automatically populated at runtime to create richer testing scenarios.
    • Intelligent validation logic: You can define validation criteria, like expected page title, size, and content, in order to validate business transactions. You can also write custom code in JavaScript that can later be reused across your test library.

    RadView WebLOAD Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing RadView WebLOAD. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Easy to get started: RadView WebLOAD’s test development environment combines the ease of recording with the power of JavaScript. To get started, users simply need to navigate through the application using a web browser or a mobile device. WebLOAD captures your actions and automatically translates them into a test script. 
    • Realistic load scenarios: RadView WebLOAD gives you the ability to simulate realistic and varied load conditions for an unlimited number of users. By using the load scenarios, you can define a variety of scripts, browsers, network characteristics, and schedules in a single test run. Virtual users have a very small footprint to optimize hardware usage.
    • Actionable intelligence: RadView WebLOAD transforms client and server-side data collected during test execution into actionable intelligence. You can use the data to improve the performance of your application. In addition, RadView WebLOAD provides a comprehensive view of performance at the level of the system, transaction, component, and end user. 
    • Mobile recording and playback: You can test your applications in mobile, multi-device environments and can also record directly from the mobile device or from a simulator. During test execution, you can mix different browser types and connection speeds to accurately simulate real conditions.
