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's a free tool."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Apache JMeter is stable."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"The metrics part of it and the ability to write your custom code to do some specific tests in the performance testing space are the most valuable features."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"User-friendly and open source."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"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."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"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."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"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 initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
