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 like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"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 features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"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."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"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."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"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."
"They need to improve on the reports after the execution of automation tests, since all the current organizations are looking for detailed graphical reports."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"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."
