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 product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"Both the professional and cloud versions of Micro Focus LoadRunner use the same scripting or programming to execute performance modeling operations. This feature allows users to use various programming languages such as Java, C, or C++, which can run within either of the two environments. This flexibility in the programming language is a strong point of the software."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The TruClient feature is the most valuable for us. An application with testing can only be scripted using TruClient, so it's part web-based, but it also has its own protocol combined with HTTP and HTML. So many other tools do not recognize this specific proprietary protocol. Using TruClient, we can still create scripts that cover everything that we need to cover."
"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of of money."
"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."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"The product must provide agents to monitor servers."
"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"The solution is expensive."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
