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 solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"Apache JMeter is well-known and widely used among developers, particularly on popular developer forums. While it may not have the most user-friendly interface, it offers strong support through official manuals and various articles from companies providing load testing services. The tool is free, has a substantial community, and serves as a fundamental choice for testers, especially those new to performance testing. While other tools like K6 may be more developer-oriented, JMeter's affordability and accessibility make it suitable for those without extensive performance testing experience."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"The low code is the best feature."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"It can be quite expensive."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
