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 is free. You don't need to worry about licensing costs."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"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."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"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 solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"The UI could be better."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"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."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
