A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated

I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

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

"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."

"Ability to use different frameworks."

"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."

"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."

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

"We took from January to July using BlazeMeter to really model out what the traffic looked like in previous years and to be able to handle the load when November came and it went through just fine without a glitch."

"BlazeMeter opened up performance testing for us, making teams more self-sufficient and opening up the practice to the whole enterprise, which is the most significant benefit."

"The metrics are a great feature for analyzing each test."

"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."

"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."

"There is a repository of all the scripts that we have created. You can go back and compare tests to see what the tests looked like. If I want to go and compare something with whatever happened six months or one year back, I can do that."

"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."

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

More BlazeMeter pros

Cons

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

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."

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

"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."

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

"Having more options for customization would be helpful."

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

"Occasionally, we have long wait times or trouble starting tests."

"My only complaint is about the technical support, where sometimes I found that they would not read into and understand the details of my question before answering it."

"We had some stability issues; sometimes the load generators do not start at all."

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

"We would like, for example, for there to be some sort of grouping features available."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"It is an averagely priced product."

"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."

"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."

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

"The product pricing is reasonable."
