Featured Reviews

Manoj Raghavendra - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Dinesh Saharan - PeerSpot reviewer
The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users
I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based nature, which allows us to conduct tests without relying on local resources."
"There is a repository of all the scripts that we have created. You can go back and compare tests to see what the tests looked like. If I want to go and compare something with whatever happened six months or one year back, I can do that."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"In our company, various teams use BlazeMeter, particularly appreciating its cloud license software, which supports up to 5,000 users. BlazeMeter's cloud capabilities allow us to load test or simulate traffic from any location worldwide, such as Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and even specific cities like Delhi. So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally."
"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."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
 

Cons

"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could 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."
"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."
"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free and open source."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"It is an averagely priced product."
"I used the product for free."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
