Nirav Patel

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Performance testing for peak retail events has become faster and delivers reliable user load insights

BlazeMeter offers numerous features, but the ones that stand out to me include its ease of use, predefined configurations for high-scale performance testing that can be executed quickly, AI-powered testing, scriptless testing, and accurate API testing with an auto-correction plugin to ensure the accuracy of the tests performed. While I cannot pinpoint a single favorite feature, I find myself using parallel execution frequently because this feature allows multiple tests to be run at once, greatly enhancing my workflow. BlazeMeter effectively handles dependency in microservice architecture, for example, linking one API to another to manage response flows, such as the login and registration APIs, which flows efficiently through BlazeMeter. BlazeMeter has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time required for testing due to its robust features that yield efficient results. Unlike JMeter, which has limitations on user simulations, BlazeMeter allows me to test any number of users, helping my e-commerce website manage unpredictable traffic loads effectively while delivering accurate results I can trust to improve my systems.

Saves us $2.6 million per year, provides more efficient testing, and helps us strengthen relationships with vendors

The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable. Perfecto is great at executing cross-platform testing. From a carrier perspective, it's all mobile, but we also have web applications. We used to be able to test on Symbian, Windows OS, Android, and iOS. Today, we can go on a big screen and test on Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, and other browsers. My team leverages Perfecto's reporting and analytics. When we start stress testing an application, we can look at all the reporting that comes from that, and we can tell at what part of the day the app is performing better. Our analytics are very important to us. Presentations are important, so it's good to have reports with graphs that show the time of day or how the app was performing for months at a time. We use those reports to screen capture, go with the data, and to show to upper management. We can do a comparison of one version performance to another version of the application or device performance. We utilize Perfecto's cloud-based lab to test across devices, browsers, and OSs. We are a carrier, so we have our devices with different OS versions of devices. Right now, it's mostly just Apple and Androids. Back in the day, they had many different versions of the OS, but the only other thing on top of that is web-based browsers. We don't test Linux, which is an operating system of Windows. We don't use Perfecto's cloud. We use our own devices because we test on only our organization's devices. Unless we do some kind of competitive analysis, it's not really a test; it's just a comparison to see how other solutions compare to ours. The range of open-source technologies that Perfecto supports is great. I have a team of contractors that report to me and do all the testing for our organization, and that team turns over every couple of years. We mostly utilize the in-house automation that is available for anyone who isn't a great programmer. They have support for all these other drivers, and they have something for non-programmers who want to automate their work, which is amazing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once you're there, the features and functionality of BlazeMeter will let you do things that were absolutely not feasible on your previous platforms."

"BlazeMeter's most valuable feature is its cloud-based platform for performance testing."

"We took from January to July using BlazeMeter to really model out what the traffic looked like in previous years and to be able to handle the load when November came and it went through just fine without a glitch."

"One key advantage of using BlazeMeter is that it does not require me to manage my own infrastructure."

"The API Mocking capabilities are great."

"BlazeMeter has positively affected my ROI, significantly saving time, resources, and money."

"If you are looking to improve your website performance and ensure maximum uptime by load testing your system from end to end, then there is no better solution that I have found."

"Out of all the functional tests, scriptless testing has been the standout piece for my team because it's cloud-based, easy for everybody to get into the navigation, pretty intuitive, and it's easy to get started writing test cases with scriptless testing."

More BlazeMeter pros

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment."

"Overall, it results in huge cost savings for our company."

"The most valuable feature is automated testing."

"We're working in Agile and we need results ASAP. The fact that the lab provides same-day access to new devices is extremely important to us."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it covers all types of devices on the market allowing you to test different versions of an operating system."

"I also like the reporting functions. We are constantly downloading these reports and sharing them with our final customers. They help us understand what kind of bugs are happening through the applications. The recording feature is handy because it lets us see a video of the process we run through the pipeline and discover the point at which the automation is breaking."

"Performance-wise, Perfecto has been awesome."

"We have seen the biggest improvement in cost savings, initially saving $2.6 million a year just on roaming charges."

More Perfecto pros

Cons

"The scalability features still need improvement."

"For a new user of BlazeMeter, it might be difficult to understand it from a programming perspective."

"There was one feature that I wanted that they didn't have."

"It's a rather expensive tool for running just a few tests — which is our primary use case, if there was a pricing structure that met our use case price wouldn’t be of concern."

"You do not receive the high level of support that you do with paid solutions."

"Running of multi-tests could be improved to make it easier to create them."

"In terms of improvement, I would like it to have the ability to customize reports."

"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."

More BlazeMeter cons

"It would be nice if there were some kind of AI to compile a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature were automated."

"We've had a couple of issues lately with videos not loading or browsers dying after some execution, although that happens very rarely."

"Sometimes, when the automated tests sync up or we have to debug remotely, we cannot interact directly with the device."

"On the analytics side, Perfecto is in need of improvement."

"It does well for mobile testing, but when it comes to the web aspect, it is lagging a little bit in terms of execution."

"We've had a couple of issues lately with videos not loading or browsers dying after some execution, although that happens very rarely."

"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times."

"Previously, we used the cradle. Every time the mobile was blocking it, we would have to ask Perfecto to provide another one. That took a lot of time away from us."

More Perfecto cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The overall product is less costly than our past solutions, so we've absolutely saved money."

"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 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."

More BlazeMeter pricing and cost advice

"Perfecto's price is excellent compared to other products with similar features. It was the lowest of the three we evaluated. We also established a partnership with Perfecto, so they provide discounts when we sell Perfecto projects and licenses to our customers."

"Perfecto is about 30-40% cheaper than Device Anywhere. That was a big reason why we switched. Perfecto also solves some of the issues that we had with Device Anywhere. We have grown by 100% since we started to use Perfecto, and now we have devices roaming. When we look at the competition, we would still stick with Perfecto."

"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment. We lost about 20 devices in the past to maintenance and audit. That was a massive loss for us, as a company, because we were giving devices to someone, but don't know whether we would get it back or not. Having those virtual labs, we don't need to worry about these kinds of things. We are easily saving $5,000 to $10,000 a month on device costing."

"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."

"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."

"I am not sure about its pricing, but from our perspective, licensing has been easy. Anytime I have new users or requests for users that want to get added, it's a very simple process. I just give the architectural owner of the product the name and email address, and they're able to easily add a new user. We don't have any issues in regards to getting licenses, but I don't have any insights into pricing."

"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."
