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 is very quick and user-friendly."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"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."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"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."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"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."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"There could be improvements in terms of memory utilization. We are going to migrate away from JMeter in the near future."
"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."
"The UI could be better."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"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."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"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."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
