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."API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"The low code is the best feature."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"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."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"The solution is expensive."
"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
