We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"JMeter lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"The solution is free. You don't need to worry about licensing costs."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
