Overall Satisfaction with BlazeMeter Continuous Testing Platform

We especially used the platform for load testing critical applications which are mission critical and end customer facing applications. It was used more specifically for applications which see volatile customer interactions and can burst into high traffic in few seconds. The platform helped in understanding the application capacity and improvement areas and helped in planning better.

Pros

  • Its compatibility with open source Apache JMeter is a huge Plus
  • Blazemeter GUI provides the capability to load scripts and get into action much faster and easier
  • No expertise is needed to do the load testing

Cons

  • BlazeMeter Google chrome extension can be improved in usability sense
  • Script creations with record feature can be improved
  • Load testing capability
  • Good quality GUI which facilitates all team members to use it
  • Cloud based Load generation feature
  • It helped positively by helping to identify the maximum capacity needed for high traffic periods
  • Saved revenue by eliminating unwanted duplication of systems
BlazeMeter scores well against Apache JMeter in one Key point , the load generation from different cloud based systems. This helps to measure the capacity of the the application in a transparent way and not bogged down by the capacity of the system from where the test is executed (in this case Apache JMeter).

Do you think BlazeMeter delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BlazeMeter's feature set?

Yes

Did BlazeMeter live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of BlazeMeter go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BlazeMeter again?

Yes

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.
