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 gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"User-friendly and open source."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"It's stable and reliable."
"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 item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"The tool needs to have a better Graphical User Interface. Many of the solution's features are difficult to understand due to the complex user interface and user experience. The product needs to add plugins. It should also work on the integration with external partners like IDE and API gateways."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"The UI could be better."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
