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."It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"The solution is scalable."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"What I like best about Apache JMeter is its user-friendly GUI because even if you don't have very good coding knowledge or understanding, or even if you don't come from a development background, you can still use the solution with just a few clicks. This is what's unique about Apache JMeter, in comparison with other tools in the market. As Apache JMeter is open source, when there's a missing feature, you can search in several community blogs for plugins that you can use to modify Apache JMeter to meet your requirements, and this is another advantage."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"Running JMeter in GUI mode uses a lot of memory, which means we need to switch to a non-GUI mode when using a heavy load."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"There could be improvements in terms of memory utilization. We are going to migrate away from JMeter in the near future."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"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."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
