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

"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 product's initial setup phase was simple."
"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."
"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."
"It is focused on concurrency testing, which has been especially beneficial for us. Their previous experiences had caused major setbacks."
"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"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."
"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest is easy to use, and the documentation provides all the needed information."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"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."
 

Cons

"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"The pricing is high"
"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."
"BlazeMeter does not provide integration with the Aternity tool."
"BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"BlazeMeter should improve or make available some features out of the box that JMeter requires customization for."
"The product could improve in areas such as mobile testing and the integration of AI analytics."
"Responsive testing UI is a bit cluttered, whereas the LT browser is much better to use."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"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."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has opted for a pay-as-you-go model, so we don't make use of the free version of the product."
"The pricing is manageable. It is not that big. Big companies won't mind the licensing costs."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"When compared with the cost of the licenses of other tools, BlazeMeter's license price is good."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive."
"The solution is free and open source."
"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."
"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."
"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"This is an affordable product."
"I used the product for free."
