Featured Reviews

Anastasiya Sousa - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automated regression has reduced repetitive testing and now needs simpler setup and reporting
I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users. The platform has a broad range of capabilities, so the learning curve can be a little easier when you first start working with it. I would also like to see more flexibility in customizing dashboards and reports for different QA teams and projects. It is a strong platform for automated testing, particularly for expanding regression coverage and reducing repetitive manual testing. But I would leave some room for improvement around the learning curve, as I mentioned earlier, and reporting customization, making some advanced features more accessible would be really useful for new users.
Nirav Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior QA Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Performance testing for peak retail events has become faster and delivers reliable user load insights
BlazeMeter offers numerous features, but the ones that stand out to me include its ease of use, predefined configurations for high-scale performance testing that can be executed quickly, AI-powered testing, scriptless testing, and accurate API testing with an auto-correction plugin to ensure the accuracy of the tests performed. While I cannot pinpoint a single favorite feature, I find myself using parallel execution frequently because this feature allows multiple tests to be run at once, greatly enhancing my workflow. BlazeMeter effectively handles dependency in microservice architecture, for example, linking one API to another to manage response flows, such as the login and registration APIs, which flows efficiently through BlazeMeter. BlazeMeter has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time required for testing due to its robust features that yield efficient results. Unlike JMeter, which has limitations on user simulations, BlazeMeter allows me to test any number of users, helping my e-commerce website manage unpredictable traffic loads effectively while delivering accurate results I can trust to improve my systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"We saw the biggest improvement in testing time and regression coverage with Appvance AIQ Platform, as automation reduced the amount of manual execution required and allowed us to run a larger set of tests more frequently, making our regression cycles roughly 30 to 40% faster while increasing automated test coverage with more scenarios and data variations."
"I also evaluated JMeter and LoadRunner but I prefer BlazeMeter because of the speed and because it's easier to use."
"The API Mocking capabilities are great."
"The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"Easy integration of open source tools."
"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."
"BlazeMeter support and flexibility is also hugely valuable."
"Using this product has improved the way our organization does testing."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"I think that Appvance AIQ Platform can be improved by making some of the advanced features easier to configure and more intuitive for new users."
"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."
"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."
"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."
"There was one feature that I wanted that they didn't have."
"The pricing is high"
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is an averagely priced product."
"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"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 would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The solution is free and open source."
