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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The stability is good."
"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."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"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 product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"From a performance perspective, BlazeMeter needs to be improved...BlazeMeter has not found the extensions for WebSockets or Java Applet."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"Lacks an option to include additional users during a test run."
"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"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."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
