We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Sauce Labs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that BlazeMeter provides easy access to its users while also ensuring that its reporting functionalities are good."
"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's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."
"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."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"One thing that we are doing a lot with the solution, and it's very good, is orchestrating a lot of JMeter agents. This feature has helped us a lot because we can reuse other vendors' performance scripts that they have used with JMeter before."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is that we do not have to have the cross-platform testing vehicles in-house. Sauce Labs gives us the ability to test across platforms and that really helps give us confidence in our products."
"It helped to integrate our performance testing and UAT, which helped to deliver a bug free software for our customers."
"I find that the multitude of browser and OS versions are very helpful for broadening testing scope."
"So far, the stability has proven to be quite good."
"Allows us to do JIRA Cloud and BambooHR Integration."
"The abundance of device, platform, and browser combinations/versions that can be used in parallel."
"It runs on the cloud, so you don't have physical setups to run all of this."
"Since this is an all-in-one testing site, we are able to take advantage of the browser OS combinations, mobile emulators and simulators, and real mobile devices. This is important to us since we have a variety of users, browsers, OS, etc."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"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."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."
"I would like to see improved network connectivity and it should allow playback for native apps."
"I can't remove team members that have left the organization. I can only set them as inactive. It would be really nice to clean up my data and delete them from the team management."
"Start execution time as each time a set of tests start, it will launch a new VM so it takes a bit of time."
"This product is not super scalable, because you have a very specific number of VMs that you can use."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"The pricing model of Sauce Labs could be more flexible. Sauce Labs has just one price for the type of solution and a set number of devices. Other solutions have a fee for the base solution and an additional cost per device. If you're a smaller organization, you have to consider your needs. Some smaller companies still need to test various devices, so my advice is to start small and scale up as needed. We had initially planned to start big, but that would have been a big waste."
"Speeds up the time it takes to run end-to-end user interface (UI) tests inside their virtual machines (VMs)."
"The only drawback is the speed, it will be good if we have a server in Asia too. It will be great if we can improve speed while initialization and execution."
