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 extensibility that the tool offers across environments and teams is valuable."
"The feature that stands out the most is their action groups. They act like functions or methods and code, allowing us to reuse portions of our tests. That also means we have a single point for maintenance when updates are required. Instead of updating a hundred different test cases, we update one action group, and the test cases using that action group will update."
"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."
"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."
"In our company, various teams use BlazeMeter, particularly appreciating its cloud license software, which supports up to 5,000 users. BlazeMeter's cloud capabilities allow us to load test or simulate traffic from any location worldwide, such as Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and even specific cities like Delhi. So, with one cloud license, we can simulate user load from various locations globally."
"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."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
 

Cons

"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."
"One problem, while we are executing a test, is that it will take some time to download data. Let's say I'm performance testing with a high-end load configuration. It takes a minimum of three minutes or so to start the test itself. That's the bad part of the performance testing... every time I rerun the same test, it is downloaded again... That means I have to wait for three to four minutes again."
"Sometimes, when we execute tests, the results calculated by BlazeMeter, specifically the response times for failed transactions, are incorrect."
"The seamless integration with mobiles could be improved."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an averagely priced product."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing fees are billed on a monthly basis and they cost approximately $100 for the basic plan."
"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."
"I used the product for free."
"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
"This is an affordable product."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"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."
"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."
