Saves test execution files for easy access and provides a execution model for running JMeter or YAML scripts across different infrastructure configurations

Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect. We've already reported this issue. If this could be fixed, BlazeMeter would be a much better tool compared to LoadRunner. Currently, it incorrectly calculates response times for failed transactions, it provides data that isn't useful. We have to manually aggregate the data to get accurate values. In future releases, I'd like to see BlazeMeter integrate with mobile applications and allow testing on real devices. By testing on real devices, we could gather metrics related to CPU usage, memory, and battery consumption. This would give us a better understanding of how the application performs on actual devices and help us ensure there are no battery drain issues, high internet usage, or excessive CPU or memory usage. This would allow us to confidently certify that the application is optimized for real-world device performance.

Real device feature is very helpful

For testing and automation. We do cross browser testing for different versions of subproducts We don't use it for mobile app testing. We are planning on using it in the future for that. The real devices feature. Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement. I have been using…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 simple."

"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."

"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."

"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."

"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."

"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."

"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."

More BlazeMeter pros

"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."

"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."

"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."

"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."

"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."

More LambdaTest pros

Cons

"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."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."

"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."

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

"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."

"The Timeline Report panel has no customization options. One feature that I missed was not having a time filter, which I had in ELK. For example, there are only filter requests for a time of less than 5 seconds."

"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."

"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."

More BlazeMeter cons

"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."

"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."

"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."

"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."

"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."

"Their smart testing module needs improvement."

"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."

"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."

More LambdaTest cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."

"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."

"The solution is free and open source."

"It is an averagely priced product."

"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."

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

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."

"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."

"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."

"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."

"The pricing could be made cheaper."

"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
