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 performance testing, simple UI, and the ability to run the same script across different domains

StresStimulus simulates browser HTTP calls. I would love to see where it can also simulate a real browser to measure visually complete time. For example, to be something similar to TruClient. We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection. In a world where the applications are changing every day, I hope StresStimulus comes up with an option to compare HTTP requests before and after deployment and tell me what requests have changed. This would help avoid rescripting every time, and this would be a huge deal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BlazeMeter has provided me with a vast cloud platform to run JMeter script files, eliminating the need for storage or load providers."

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

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

"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."

"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 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."

"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."

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

More BlazeMeter pros

"Technical support is great."

"Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."

"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team."

Cons

"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."

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

"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."

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

"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."

"The scanning capability needs improvement."

"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."

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

More BlazeMeter cons

"We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection."

"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features."

"Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

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