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."When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"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."
"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."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The low code is the best feature."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"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 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."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"I would like a better user interface."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"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."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
