Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it before every internal release to monitor the performance of our site and then we re run it after the deploy in our development environments so we can identify if our performance is being affected by the functionalities that we are planning to release. BlazeMeter help us to identify performance impact or deprecation that new functionalities might introduce before releasing them into a live environment so we can act on consequence and fix and improve our code with anticipation. We also use it as a complement with other tools like Catchpoint, with BlazeMeter we introduce some load to the application and in the meanwhile we run Catchpoint tests to identify other issues.

Pros

Results are easy to read
Tests can be run easily
Tests can ben imported easily from jMeter

Cons

none at all, I really took my time thinking about this and the tool is really simple, clean and complete

Likelihood to Recommend

It is good for measurements of performance testing. It can be used to run API testing.
I can not use this for monitoring but it can be used as a complement for monitoring tools (like Catchpoint or New Relic). It can help to produce load on your site and monitor.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We user Blazemeter to load and stress test several online radio streaming websites managed by my company. As far as I know it was being used by my department only at the time.

Pros

Blazemeter has very intuitive and uncluttered UI. It is very easy for a beginner to figure out and get started.
Blazemeter allows several methods of creating performance tests - using several popular open source applications. Therefore most often there is no need to learn to use a new tool or language.

Cons

Blazemeter reporting is very basic and shallow. There is no way to drill down or correlate. I can get better reports by using JMeter for free.
Blazemeter is very costly. Testing with volumes of more than 1K cu is expensive, and can be done for much cheaper if a company/team is willing to invest a bit of time to figure out how to use cloud instances and jmeter slaves, and to write a basic script to collect resulting xml output.

Likelihood to Recommend

Performance testing is a complex concept to grasp and Blazemeter is easy to get started with. So if a completely non-technical beginner needed immediate results and cost was not an issue, I would recommend Blazemeter as a temporary, short term solution. However, if the individuals intention is to execute performance testing regularly, I would strongly encourage them to consider other means. For example Redline13 + JMeter.
