Senior Automation Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Has the ability to use different frameworks for testing although it is lacking in capability options

Setup depends on how you are using the product. In our case, it was quite simple. We did it ourselves and it didn't take much time, maybe a day. We used one person per team for setup, usually an engineer or developer. For each team, we had one person to assist with deployment. We have multiple teams so each team had someone dealing with setup. We now have two people working in the company who deal with the maintenance of the solution.

Mobile Network Automation Architect at BT - British Telecom

Reduced our test operating costs, provides quick feedback, and helps us understand how to build better test cases

Overall, it's helped our ability to address test data challenges. The test data features on their own are very good, but version control test data isn't included yet. I think that's an area for improvement. We can update the test data on the cloud. That's a good feature. There's also test data management, which is good. [Runscope] doesn't have the test data management yet. Mock services do, and performance testing has it. We can do the same test through JMeter, validating the same criteria, but the feedback from [Runscope] is quite visible. We can see the request and the response, what data comes back, and add the validation criteria. We can manage the test environments and test data, but running the same API request for multiple test data is missing. We cloned the test cases multiple times to run it. They need to work on that. Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within [Runscope] would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes. In the future, I would like to see integrations with GitLab and external Git reports so we could have some sort of version control outside as well. There is no current mechanism for that. The ability to have direct imports of spoken API specifications instead of converting them to JSON would be nice. There are some features they could work on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Game testing and the API for apps are good."

"Ability to use different frameworks."

"One thing that we are doing a lot with the solution, and it's very good, is orchestrating a lot of JMeter agents. This feature has helped us a lot because we can reuse other vendors' performance scripts that they have used with JMeter before."

"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based nature, which allows us to conduct tests without relying on local resources."

"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."

"The user interface is good."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."

"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."

"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."

"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."

More BlazeMeter pros

Cons

"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

"BlazeMeter does not provide integration with the Aternity tool."

"The pricing is high"

"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."

"BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for."

"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."

"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."

"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."

"Having more options for customization would be helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."

"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 licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."

"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the 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."

"The solution is free and open source."

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."

"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."

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