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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"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 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."
"BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast cloud platform to run JMeter script files, eliminating the need for storage or load providers."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"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 product's initial setup phase was simple."
More BlazeMeter pros
"We need to test the APIs as we build them. I use the product for API testing. You can do AWS security in SoapUI. With SoapUI, we can even perform mutual SSL authentication by incorporating certificates into the SoapUI browser. This allows us to send transactions to the backend downstream."
"The solution's most valuable features are the designing of API, Property Transfer feature, and Groovy plugin."
"SoapUI is a pretty simple tool."
 

Cons

"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"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."
"BlazeMeter does not provide integration with the Aternity tool."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The scalability features still need improvement."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect."
More BlazeMeter cons
"The product needs to be available as an extension for the Chrome browser."
"There are more advanced API testing tools than SoapUI, and SoapUI could be made better."
"The solution should include some plug-ins to share the generated reports over email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"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."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice
"SoapUI is an open-source solution."
"SoapUI is a cheap tool that does not have an expensive license."
