Bala Maddu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product's most valuable features include its cloud-based nature, which allows us to conduct tests without relying on local resources."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that BlazeMeter provides easy access to its users while also ensuring that its reporting functionalities are good."
"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."
"Running from the cloud with load distribution, exhibiting load from different geo-regions. Generating the load from different cloud regions is the best feature."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"The customer service is not available 24/7, which affects its rating. I would rate it as a seven because they respond once they are available."
"One problem, while we are executing a test, is that it will take some time to download data. Let's say I'm performance testing with a high-end load configuration. It takes a minimum of three minutes or so to start the test itself. That's the bad part of the performance testing... every time I rerun the same test, it is downloaded again... That means I have to wait for three to four minutes again."
"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."
"BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."
"Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 product pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"It is an averagely priced 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."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"I used the product for free."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"This is an affordable product."
