Performance testing for peak retail events has become faster and delivers reliable user load insights
BlazeMeter offers numerous features, but the ones that stand out to me include its ease of use, predefined configurations for high-scale performance testing that can be executed quickly, AI-powered testing, scriptless testing, and accurate API testing with an auto-correction plugin to ensure the accuracy of the tests performed. While I cannot pinpoint a single favorite feature, I find myself using parallel execution frequently because this feature allows multiple tests to be run at once, greatly enhancing my workflow. BlazeMeter effectively handles dependency in microservice architecture, for example, linking one API to another to manage response flows, such as the login and registration APIs, which flows efficiently through BlazeMeter. BlazeMeter has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time required for testing due to its robust features that yield efficient results. Unlike JMeter, which has limitations on user simulations, BlazeMeter allows me to test any number of users, helping my e-commerce website manage unpredictable traffic loads effectively while delivering accurate results I can trust to improve my systems.

IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process but the reporting is complicated
You pay for the number of users that you're going to be utilizing. In order to scale up, you would have to pay for additional users, but for our use case, we're able to scale fairly easily. We have a license for 500, but we're using half of that for our initial workflow. For maintenance, as far as I'm aware, there's only one person really working on the maintenance of it and we only really have one user consistently using the software. He's a QA person. We don't have any plans to increase our usage. Even though we've had it for a while, we have a major push to start utilizing it more. I imagine we'll probably be using it and utilizing it across our QA team in the next year. We're in the process of determining whether we're going to keep it or not due to the fact that it is so expensive. That's why I've been researching alternatives for the RadView.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The API Mocking capabilities are great."
"The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"Previously, most of the test projects that I delivered before I moved into automation used to take months, and now the entire API test is completed within minutes."
"I recommend BlazeMeter because of the accuracy of the results."
"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."
"Out of all the functional tests, scriptless testing has been the standout piece for my team because it's cloud-based, easy for everybody to get into the navigation, pretty intuitive, and it's easy to get started writing test cases with scriptless testing."
"They are the best of all of the vendors I deal with, hands down."
"The ability to conceptualize the experience for users is great, the price as the bang for your buck is good, the user interface is quite user friendly, and the graphics make it easy to follow and are easy to identify."
"Technical support has been excellent, responsive, and helpful in trying to work through issues and questions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting; it is interesting, intuitive, and we can do some parameterization."
"The most valuable aspect is that the IDE is simple and it's quick to complete the process."
"The tool itself is very viable for us."
"Customer service is excellent; they're very responsive and willing to work extra hours, and in the first couple of hours that we were up and running, they taught us how to implement it and to figure out and negotiate AWS."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."
 

Cons

"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"You do not receive the high level of support that you do with paid solutions."
"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs."
"The product could improve in areas such as mobile testing and the integration of AI analytics."
"More runs per month for the basic plan would be useful."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The support could be better."
"The customer service is not available 24/7, which affects its rating. I would rate it as a seven because they respond once they are available."
"There is no analytical dashboard."
"It would be great, in addition to the load tool, it would be nice, if Radview offered a JavaScript based functional test tool as well."
"When it finds a problem with response times, it doesn't specify exactly where the problem actually is."
"I would like to be able to edit a scenario instead of re-recording a scenario."
"Technical support is slow and wastes a lot of time, so it needs to be improved."
"We have had a lot of trouble with this solution, and it is actually adapted to our application."
"We did have an issue with some of the script working incorrectly in our higher environments."
"The reporting side of things is really complicated. It's difficult to get out exactly what you're looking for, there are almost too many options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"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 solution is free and open source."
"It is an averagely priced product."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
"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."
"It costs $8,600 yearly and we have the Cloud, which is an additional $800. Our perpetual license is $800 and then the Cloud functionality with our 500 users is the $8,600."
"We purchased a license for two years."
