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.

Reliable with excellent support but needs better source control integration and versioning
Source control integration and versioning could be better. Currently, StresStimulus does not natively support any form of change control management. Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement. Multiple sets of analysis results can be opened in the user interface at the same time, and comparison reports can be generated to compare some aspects of pairs of test runs. However, the interface that displays the multiple sets of results only allows a single result set to be viewed at any one time & uses tabs to switch between the individual result sets. It would be useful to have the ability to view multiple tabs at once, either side by side in the interface or by snapping tabs out of the interface into their own windows to be viewed together with others. Graphing (collect PerfMon data as part of the tests and then have the ability to create different graphs with that data after the test completes to help with analysis) could be better. Graphs and their contents have to be defined before tests are run. Often, as a result of running tests and viewing the results collected, it is necessary to have graphs showing/comparing different metrics collections than those specified before the run. Other tools collect metrics that are not tied to pre-defined graphs & allow the metrics to be used to construct graphs as required by subsequent analysis & investigation. Nested tests/test case groups/test solution files (ability to build a hierarchy of test cases/test case groups/solution files) are required. Within a StresStimulus, tests are organized in just two levels, test cases, and test case groups. As is possible with other tools, it would be helpful to have a hierarchy with multiple levels of nested test cases/test case groups (or even the solution config files themselves). It would make it easier to manage multiple sets, combinations of tests, load profiles & test mixes if a high-level solution file (or test case group) could run a collection of lower-level ones, which in turn end up executing multiple different base-level test case groups and individual test cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."
"The API Mocking capabilities are great."
"BlazeMeter support and flexibility is also hugely valuable."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is the dashboard."
"We found it met our requirements and more, helping us gain confidence from our customers and solve a nagging problem in the performance of a third-party application."
"The extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"Using BlazeMeter has greatly simplified our performance testing experience, especially the preparation part."
"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team."
"Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."
"Technical support is great."
 

Cons

"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."
"We had some stability issues; sometimes the load generators do not start at all."
"The cost is a bit high for the Indian consumer."
"There was one feature that I wanted that they didn't have."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"BlazeMeter meets my needs very well, but an area for improvement would be the ability to execute multiple projects simultaneously."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection."
"Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."
"Analyzing results from test runs is proving to be challenging."
"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The solution is free and open source."
"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
