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.

Provides global load simulations without managing infrastructure and offers built-in reporting features

BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for. The licensing cost is also a concern since BlazeMeter is not free like JMeter, which limits its use. Additionally, if there is no host in preferred locations such as some Asian or Middle Eastern countries, it might not be convenient to use BlazeMeter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."

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

"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."

"It's a great platform because it's a SaaS solution, but it also builds the on-premises hosting solutions, so we have implemented a hybrid approach. BlazeMeter sets us up for our traditional hosting platforms and application stack as well as the modern cloud-based or SaaS-based application technologies."

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

"The solution’s most valuable feature is the dashboard."

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

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

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

"BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast cloud platform to run JMeter script files, eliminating the need for storage or load providers."

More BlazeMeter pros

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."

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

"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."

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

"The product could improve in areas such as mobile testing and the integration of AI analytics."

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

"The scanning capability needs improvement."

"The scalability features still need improvement."

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

"Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect."

More BlazeMeter cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."

"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."
