Featured Reviews

Manoj Raghavendra - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In our company, various teams use BlazeMeter, particularly appreciating its cloud license software, which supports up to 5,000 users. BlazeMeter's cloud capabilities allow us to load test or simulate traffic from any location worldwide, such as Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and even specific cities like Delhi. So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally."
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast cloud platform to run JMeter script files, eliminating the need for storage or load providers."
"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 extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"The orchestration feature is the most valuable. It's like the tourist backend component of BlazeMeter. It allows me to essentially give BlazeMeter multiple JMeter scripts and a YAML file, and it will orchestrate and execute that load test and all those scripts as I define them."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The pricing is high"
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"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."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The solution is free and open source."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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 pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"This is an affordable product."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
