We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."
"Its most valuable features are its strong community support, user-friendly interface, and flexible capacity options."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"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."
"I don't think I can generate a JMX file unless I run JMeter, which is one of my concerns when it comes to BlazeMeter."
"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."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"The performance could be better. When reviewing finished cases, it sometimes takes a while for BlazeMeter to load. That has improved recently, but it's still a problem with unusually large test cases. The same goes for editing test cases. When editing test cases, it starts to take a long time to open those action groups and stuff."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"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."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
