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 solution's initial setup is easy."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"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 reporting is really nice."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"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's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"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 provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"The tool needs to have a better Graphical User Interface. Many of the solution's features are difficult to understand due to the complex user interface and user experience. The product needs to add plugins. It should also work on the integration with external partners like IDE and API gateways."
"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."
"They can improve it a little bit in terms of distribution load testing. We struggled with it during the distribution. In terms of reporting, runtime monitoring is not currently included, and it should be included. They can also improve it on the reporting side in terms of the comparison of the reports. They can also focus more on integration with CI/CD. Currently, people are using their own customized tools. It would be nice if Apache can provide some standard tools and procedures for integration with CI/CD tools like DPR. There are some tools, but it would be nice if official standard tools and procedures are available."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
