User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Blackfire Blackfire.io is super helpful in allowing proactive testing of applications before releasing on the production environment. Blackfire.io provides actionable insights to improve code proactively by integration with the development software. Also tracks the live production environment and is able to highlight any loading issues or unusual bounce rates. Blackfire.io also monitors HTTP requests and SQL queries which again help improve efficiency for developers and reduce development time.

Pros	Blackfire Provide details on processes eating up valuable server resources Alert against bottlenecks and find bottlenecks Performs load tests in code before moving to production environments Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM An execution log in html format provides detailed information of the actions, verifications, and screenshots with timestamps. Quick response and good support. IBM releases frequent updates to handle customer needs and fix issues. A solid object inspector, extensive functional library and playback monitor.

Cons	Blackfire 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 Incentivized YG Yatin Garg Product Manager Read full review	IBM Installation or updates were not always perfect. Would have to clean previous installations or reinstall Java if there were errors. No or very limited support of browsers outside of Internet Explorer. Uses a lot of memory, can have memory issues on large tests. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Blackfire blackfire.io definitely provides an edge over competing products such as Datadog due to the level of monitoring and analysis it provides. Datadog is a great tool however when evaluating and catching inefficiencies in lower non production environments, blackfire.io provides a level of reporting that were did not find any competing products. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	IBM Selenium is similar to IBM Rational Functional Tester but is not as user friendly and does not support thick applications. Visual Studio Coded UI is newer so not as refined; the object inspector/management and execution log results is poor compared to IBM Rational Functional Tester.

Return on Investment	Blackfire Reduce in bugs by 50%, more happy customers 2x decrease in load time for the website 100% performance validation before production release Incentivized YG Yatin Garg Product Manager Read full review	IBM Speeds up and broadens the testing cycle by using machine time for regression testing. Frees up time for testers to focus on critical items outside the automated suite. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
