Zeenyx AscentialTest and BlazeMeter are competitors in software testing, each offering unique strengths. BlazeMeter is considered more robust for organizations focusing on performance testing due to its comprehensive features.
Features: Zeenyx AscentialTest offers extensive scripting and automation features, supports functional, regression, and manual testing, and includes test management capabilities. BlazeMeter excels in performance and load testing, integrates seamlessly with DevOps tools, and supports continuous integration.
Room for Improvement: Zeenyx AscentialTest could enhance its performance testing features and cloud integration. Its reliance on certain third-party tools may limit tools flexibility. BlazeMeter might improve in areas of initial learning curve and offering more detailed user documentation. Enhancing customer support via more proactive engagement could increase user satisfaction.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Zeenyx AscentialTest is praised for its straightforward installation, robust customer service, and quick deployment. BlazeMeter's cloud-based approach allows for quick scalability and integration but may require additional customer assistance, which can be seen as less direct than Zeenyx's support model.
Pricing and ROI: Zeenyx AscentialTest is recognized for its cost-effectiveness, appealing to budget-conscious organizations with favorable setup costs and ROI. BlazeMeter, while having a higher initial cost, offers long-term value with advanced capabilities and performance options, which justify the higher investment for those in need of comprehensive performance testing features.
The customer service is not available 24/7, which affects its rating.
BlazeMeter has the capability to simulate a higher number of users compared to JMeter standalone.
