Chose BlazeMeter
Personally, I prefer using JMeter + Redline13, however we had some business folks that wanted to be able to run a few of their own tests. The non-technical individuals preferred to use Blazemeter because of its simple and intuitive UI.

blackfire.io is best suited for any company that has a development team managing code releases into different environments. This tool is crucial in cases where there are codebase changes or upgrades and it really helps in load testing and code validity. With every new codebase release there could be a risk of how it affects the infrastructure supporting it so blackfire.io helps report on those metrics.

It is good for measurements of performance testing. It can be used to run API testing. I can not use this for monitoring but it can be used as a complement for monitoring tools (like Catchpoint or New Relic). It can help to produce load on your site and monitor.

  • Blazemeter has very intuitive and uncluttered UI. It is very easy for a beginner to figure out and get started.
  • Blazemeter allows several methods of creating performance tests - using several popular open source applications. Therefore most often there is no need to learn to use a new tool or language.

Cons
  • They count same API endpoint AND same method (e.g. POST, OPTIONS, GET etc) as different profiles
  • Customer service needs a lot of improvement
  • The documentation can be a bit more detailed to remove any scope of doubts

  • BlazeMeter should not require the purchase of 2 dedicated IPs for each suite of performance tests.
  • BlazeMeter should make custom packages cheaper than they are today when purchased for an enterprise and should include dedicated IPs in the package.
  • BlazeMerer should have integration with Jenkins Pipeline 2.0.
