User Testimonials
	BlazeMeter	SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear
Likelihood to Recommend	Perforce Software It is well suited for applications that are mission-critical or applications that can receive high traffic/transactions at unscheduled time periods. Using the load testing feature of BlazeMeter, we can test and ascertain the capacity of the application without the drawbacks of the usual Apache JMeter load testing which depends heavily on the host system from where the load testing is performed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SmartBear If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Perforce Software Results are easy to read Tests can be run easily Tests can ben imported easily from jMeter Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SmartBear SOAP REST Authentication Incentivized JD Jordan Deroubaix Programmer Read full review
Cons	Perforce Software 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SmartBear I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

Alternatives Considered	Perforce Software 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SmartBear Every application has its own features and UI design but SoapUI is also very good at testing. All features are awesome.

Return on Investment	Perforce Software It helped positively by helping to identify the maximum capacity needed for high traffic periods Saved revenue by eliminating unwanted duplication of systems Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SmartBear Saves time in web service testing Make it easy No need to code much Incentivized Pankaj Rawat Associate Software Quality Assurance Engineer Read full review
