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 distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"Scripting with the solution is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"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."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"The low code is the best feature."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"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."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"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."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Currently, the integration pipeline is implemented by using Jenkins or a similar tool platform. These are continuous integration tools. As far as I know, integration is done by using custom scripts. It would be good if the integration with a continuous integration pipeline, like Jenkins or Hudson, can be done out of the box without using a script."
"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're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
