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."Scripting with the solution is good."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"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."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"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."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"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."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"It can be quite expensive."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
