Bala Maddu - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduced our test operating costs, provides quick feedback, and helps us understand how to build better test cases
Overall, it's helped our ability to address test data challenges. The test data features on their own are very good, but version control test data isn't included yet. I think that's an area for improvement. We can update the test data on the cloud. That's a good feature. There's also test data management, which is good. [Runscope] doesn't have the test data management yet. Mock services do, and performance testing has it. We can do the same test through JMeter, validating the same criteria, but the feedback from [Runscope] is quite visible. We can see the request and the response, what data comes back, and add the validation criteria. We can manage the test environments and test data, but running the same API request for multiple test data is missing. We cloned the test cases multiple times to run it. They need to work on that. Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within [Runscope] would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes. In the future, I would like to see integrations with GitLab and external Git reports so we could have some sort of version control outside as well. There is no current mechanism for that. The ability to have direct imports of spoken API specifications instead of converting them to JSON would be nice. There are some features they could work on.

Technical support should be improved, though it has great documentation
We had a regression run every two weeks. During every regression testing, we had similar issues from LambdaTest's side, which was a huge problem for our tests, stability, and productivity. I had to call them every two weeks and spend two to four hours on one call to understand why this happened. The LambdaTest engineer we communicated with decided that he didn't need to fix this issue. So, I had to create a workaround from my side. This was the biggest issue I faced with the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"It supports any number of features and has a lot of tutorials."
"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 product's initial setup phase was simple."
"I really like the recording because when I use the JMeter the scripting a lot of recording it takes me a lot of time to get used to. The BlazeMeter the recording is quick."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The baseline comparison in BlazeMeter is very easy, especially considering the different tests that users can easily compare."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
 

Cons

"BlazeMeter does not provide integration with the Aternity tool."
"My only complaint is about the technical support, where sometimes I found that they would not read into and understand the details of my question before answering it."
"Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect."
"The pricing is high"
"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"BlazeMeter needs more granular access control. Currently, BlazeMeter controls everything at a workspace level, so a user can view or modify anything inside that workspace depending on their role. It would be nice if there was a more granular control where you could say, "This person can only do A, B, and C," or, "This user only has access to functional testing. This user only has access to mock services." That feature set doesn't currently exist."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
"The product isn't cheap, but it isn't the most expensive on the market. During our proof of concept, we discovered that you get what you pay for; we found a cheaper solution we tested to be full of bugs. Therefore, we are willing to pay the higher price tag for the quality BlazeMeter offers."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"It's consumption-based pricing but with a ceiling. They're called CVUs, or consumption variable units. We can use API testing, GUI testing, and test data, but everything gets converted into CVUs, so we are free to use the platform in its entirety without getting bogged down by a license for certain testing areas. We know for sure how much we are going to spend."
"It is an averagely priced product."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
