We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"One thing that we are doing a lot with the solution, and it's very good, is orchestrating a lot of JMeter agents. This feature has helped us a lot because we can reuse other vendors' performance scripts that they have used with JMeter before."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."
"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"With the help of the Mock Services, we are overcoming everything. Wherever we are facing issues, whether they will be long term or temporary, by implementing the Mock Services we can bypass the faulty components that are not needed for our particular testing."
"The most valuable aspect of BlazeMeter is its user-friendly nature, ability to conduct distributed load testing and comprehensive analysis and reporting features. It particularly excels in providing a clear and organized view of load test results."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"Scalability is an area of concern in BlazeMeter, where improvements are required."
"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."
"The only downside of BlazeMeter is that it is a bit expensive."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"The performance could be better. When reviewing finished cases, it sometimes takes a while for BlazeMeter to load. That has improved recently, but it's still a problem with unusually large test cases. The same goes for editing test cases. When editing test cases, it starts to take a long time to open those action groups and stuff."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
