Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

BlazeMeter and Ranorex Studio are industry players in performance testing and UI test automation respectively. BlazeMeter is often preferred for load testing due to its scalability and cloud capabilities, while Ranorex Studio stands out for UI test automation with robust object recognition.

Features: BlazeMeter facilitates scalable load testing, integrates with tools like New Relic, and supports cloud-based simulations. Ranorex Studio automates tests across desktop, web, and mobile applications with C# scripting, provides powerful object recognition through Ranorex Spy, and integrates with CI tools like Jenkins.

Room for Improvement: BlazeMeter can enhance its reporting and customization capabilities, improve load generator provisioning, and refine integrations. Ranorex Studio could expand support to macOS and Linux, advance its parallel test execution features, and improve object recognition for Outlook add-ins.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BlazeMeter offers deployment flexibility across cloud and on-premises platforms but receives mixed reviews on customer service. Ranorex Studio, typically for on-premises deployment, is noted for responsive support yet some users desire more comprehensive documentation.

Pricing and ROI: BlazeMeter offers competitive pricing with substantial ROI through cost savings and test efficiency. Ranorex Studio, although more expensive with per-license costs, provides a comprehensive feature set that can justify the investment by enhancing automation efficiency and reducing manual testing costs.

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.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."

"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."

"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."

More BlazeMeter pros

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."

"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."

"Object identification is good."

"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"Having more options for customization would be helpful."

"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."

"The pricing is high"

"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."

"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."

"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."

"The Timeline Report panel has no customization options. One feature that I missed was not having a time filter, which I had in ELK. For example, there are only filter requests for a time of less than 5 seconds."

More BlazeMeter cons

"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

"The solution is free and open source."

"It is an averagely priced product."

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
