SmartBear TestComplete and BlazeMeter compete in the automated testing market. BlazeMeter holds an advantage with its strong load testing capabilities and flexible cloud-based platform.
Features: SmartBear TestComplete provides advanced object recognition, the Object Browser for simplifying object identification, and automation for web, mobile, and desktop applications. It supports modular test scripts and multiple programming languages. BlazeMeter excels with superior load testing, especially for scaling JMeter tests across various geographic locations, and offers cloud-based API and performance testing with open-source tool integration.
Room for Improvement: SmartBear TestComplete needs enhancements in its web and mobile testing frameworks, improved language support, and object mapping features. Improvements in license management and version control integration are also needed. BlazeMeter should enhance mobile application integration, report customization, server hour calculations, and provide better access control and integration with APM and GitLab.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SmartBear TestComplete is primarily on-premises with mixed reviews on customer service. Some find it responsive, while others consider it slow. BlazeMeter offers cloud and hybrid deployment with strong flexibility, though its customer service is satisfactory but lacks depth in technical support.
Pricing and ROI: SmartBear TestComplete is considered expensive with various licensing options, potentially burdensome for smaller enterprises. However, it provides a good return on investment through reduced test times and enhanced QA processes. BlazeMeter's pricing is also high but valued for flexibility due to its consumption-based model, offering cost-effective solutions for cloud testing and generating positive ROI.
BlazeMeter ensures delivery of high-performance software by enabling DevOps teams to quickly and easily run open-source-based performance tests against any mobile app, website or API at massive scale to validate performance at every stage of software delivery.
The rapidly growing BlazeMeter community has more than 100,000 developers and includes prominent global brands such as Adobe, Atlassian, Gap, NBC Universal, Pfizer and Walmart as customers. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif., with its research and development in Tel Aviv.

Reviews from Real Users
Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”
Sai S R., Staff Test Architect at a tech services company, says, "The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them."
