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

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that BlazeMeter provides easy access to its users while also ensuring that its reporting functionalities are good."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The user interface is good."
"The orchestration feature is the most valuable. It's like the tourist backend component of BlazeMeter. It allows me to essentially give BlazeMeter multiple JMeter scripts and a YAML file, and it will orchestrate and execute that load test and all those scripts as I define them."
"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."
"Running from the cloud with load distribution, exhibiting load from different geo-regions. Generating the load from different cloud regions is the best feature."
"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to run high loads and generate reports."
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"We use the solution for automation testing and monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"The technical support services are excellent."
 

Cons

"The product could improve in areas such as mobile testing and the integration of AI analytics."
"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."
"BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for."
"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."
"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."
"I don't think I can generate a JMX file unless I run JMeter, which is one of my concerns when it comes to BlazeMeter."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"If the solution had better support and the documentation was efficient it would do better in the market."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"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 solution is free and open source."
"I rate the product's price two on a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive. The solution is not expensive."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
