We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The usability and ability to integrate with other solutions is quite good. When I use it in on Azure, then Red Hat is the most likely solution I use. When I use AWS, then I tend to use Lambda functions. In either case, it works well and you can use it either way."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"It's a fast product, so you don't have much trouble in terms of maintenance overhead. You don't want to just look into configuring load generators, look for upgrades, and end up having that take up a lot of your time. With this solution, you just log in and you start using it. This means that there is a huge benefit in terms of the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and the maintenance effort."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of of money."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The reporting is really nice."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."
"Sometimes, you are utilizing one of the low generators, then all of a sudden if you discontinue from one project, it actually deletes the entire low generator."
"It should have a feature to report with a 99.9 percentile success rate."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"Scriptless automation is an area that can be improved."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"It can be quite expensive."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
