Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time.""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.""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 extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable.""BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool.""The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.""Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options.""The most valuable aspect of BlazeMeter is its user-friendly nature, ability to conduct distributed load testing and comprehensive analysis and reporting features. It particularly excels in providing a clear and organized view of load test results."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously.""We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices.""BrowserStack's best feature is browser testing across different platforms, including mobile.""The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult.""It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering.""The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable.""The most valuable features are the variety of tools available.""Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable."

Cons
"The scanning capability needs improvement.""Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved.""In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports.""Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within Runscope would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes.""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.""I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on.""The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved.""Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."

More BlazeMeter Cons →

"We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues.""BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico.""BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster.""One of the biggest issues with BrowserStack is that if you don't have your network set up by the book, it's hard to get it to work with local desk machines.""The solution is slow.""It is difficult to use for someone who has little to no experience.""I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms.""Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
  • "The solution is free and open source."
  • "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 overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
  • "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."
  • "My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
  • "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."
  • "When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."

  • "This solution costs less than competing products."
  • "The price is fine."
  • "There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
  • "BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
  • "The price of BrowserStack is high."
  • "Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
  • "My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."
  • "As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."
