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.

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

"It is a stable solution. When we compare BlazeMeter with other tools in the market, I can say that the solution's overall performance has also been very good in our company."

"The user interface is good."

"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."

"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based nature, which allows us to conduct tests without relying on local resources."

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

"With the help of the Mock Services, we are overcoming everything. Wherever we are facing issues, whether they will be long term or temporary, by implementing the Mock Services we can bypass the faulty components that are not needed for our particular testing."

"It is focused on concurrency testing, which has been especially beneficial for us. Their previous experiences had caused major setbacks."

"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."

More BlazeMeter pros

"Object identification is good."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Ranorex Studio pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

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

"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."

"BlazeMeter does not provide integration with the Aternity tool."

"I don't think I can generate a JMX file unless I run JMeter, which is one of my concerns when it comes to BlazeMeter."

More BlazeMeter cons

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

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

"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."

More Ranorex Studio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is reasonable."

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

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

"It is an averagely priced product."

"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 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 solution is free and open source."

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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)."

"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."
