BlazeMeter and Eggplant Test compete in the performance testing and automation sector. BlazeMeter offers an edge with its cloud-based load generation and robust tool integrations.
Features: BlazeMeter is known for its scalability, cloud-based load testing capabilities, and integration with tools like JMeter and New Relic. It supports detailed reporting and adaptive test configurations. Eggplant Test excels in image recognition and cross-platform testing, offering scriptless testing options and broad system integration beyond web environments, making it versatile.
Room for Improvement: BlazeMeter could improve test execution speed, reporting customization, and integration with external tools like APMs. Eggplant Test is criticized for its expensive cost, challenging setup, and documentation, suggesting more intuitive integrations to assist users without deep technical backgrounds.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BlazeMeter's cloud-first deployment allows seamless integration, with generally responsive technical support, albeit with some noted inconsistencies. Eggplant Test supports on-premises deployment, suiting those needing localized control, but faces accessibility challenges, with satisfactory support that sometimes sees delays.
Pricing and ROI: BlazeMeter offers flexible pricing models catering to diverse needs, seen as cost-effective with noted high costs without discounts. ROI is realized through reduced testing time. Eggplant Test is considered expensive, limiting smaller organizations, though its features and support justify costs for those requiring extensive testing capabilities under budget constraints.
The customer service is not available 24/7, which affects its rating.
Eggplant Test offers 24x7 support.
BlazeMeter has the capability to simulate a higher number of users compared to JMeter standalone.
BlazeMeter is quite scalable, and I rate its scalability as nine out of ten.
I would rate the stability of BlazeMeter as eight out of ten, indicating that it is a stable and reliable solution.
The licensing cost is also a concern since BlazeMeter is not free like JMeter, which limits its use.
The extra CSV random dataset plugin could be integrated with a simple checkbox in the existing CSV dataset plugin to read files randomly.
The two-system architecture that we currently follow could be better replaced with a one-system architecture.
BlazeMeter requires licensing, which means it is not free like JMeter, adding to the setup cost considerations.
BlazeMeter offers a higher limit on load simulation compared to standalone JMeter.
BlazeMeter integrates with JMeter via multiple plugins, which streamlines performance testing, test monitoring, and report sharing.
It can auto-heal the test cases and suggest new paths for testing, enhancing our ability to automate end-to-end journeys across various applications.
