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."We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"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."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"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."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"The reporting is not very good."
"JMeter is lagging when it comes to GUI performance testing because we need to install some third-party plugins for recording the GUI script, and the performance isn't very reliable."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"Because so much is being done these days with authentication processes, a better system for either getting bearer tokens or some kind of token-based authentication prior to executing APIs would benefit the product. It is there, and you can do things. It is just not real clean at this point. There should be a better authentication process for JMeter or some automation or better guidelines for gaining and utilizing tokens on the fly."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."
"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."
"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."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
