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

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

"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."

"The user interface is good."

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

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

"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."

"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."

More BlazeMeter pros

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

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

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

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

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."

"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."

"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."

"The solution is stable."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

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

"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."

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

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

"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."

"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."

"The tool fails to offer better parameterization to allow it to run the same script across different environments, making it a feature that needs a little improvement."

"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."

More BlazeMeter cons

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

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

"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."

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

"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 object detection functionality needs to be improved."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."

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

"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

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

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

"The solution is free and open source."

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."

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

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"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)."

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