"The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"It is open source as well as relatively extendable. It allows us to extend and add additional functionality and features. Its deployment is also very easy."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"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."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"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."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"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."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
