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 most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"It is scalable. You can scale up to 1,000 users in JMeter. If you can put up four slave servers, you can easily ramp up to 1,000 users."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"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."
"To me, what's most valuable in Apache JMeter is that it's a lightweight tool for application testing. It's the best load-testing tool for my company because Apache JMeter simulates your application during testing. Apache JMeter also creates threads with good server utilization. Apache JMeter allows you to focus on analyzing the situation, looking into measurements, response time, and client-server responses, which I find valuable."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"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 of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"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 most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"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."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"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 solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"I would like a better user interface."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"It can be quite expensive."
