Does Blazemeter results are correct comparing with JMeter?

Recently I ran a same JMX script in JMeter and also in Blazemeter, I found that Blazemeter results are showing like 300ms , while JMeter showing like 1200ms. I am confused which tool is correct. At first, I don't understand why there is so much differnce in results and which tool should I believe?

BlazeMeter cannot report results which differ from JMeter because BlazeMeter is using JMeter under the hood.

Response time itself doesn't tell the full story, one of possible reasons I can think of is Latency.

For example if you're located in North Korea and testing an application which is hosted in South Africa it will take some time for packets to travel across the globe back and forth.

Given the following formula:

Elapsed time = Connect Time + Latency + TTLB

If you remove i.e. Connect Time you should see more "clear" results.
