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."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."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"A lot of things are valuable. It is free. It has a lot of features, such as report generation and integration with CI/CD, which makes it very competitive with the other paid solutions available in the market. It is a good solution."
"It's a free tool."
"It is scalable. You can scale up to 1,000 users in JMeter. If you can put up four slave servers, you can easily ramp up to 1,000 users."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"The reporting is not very good."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"Running JMeter in GUI mode uses a lot of memory, which means we need to switch to a non-GUI mode when using a heavy load."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"Given that Apache JMeter is a free and open-source tool, documentation improvement may not be a major concern, as it is mostly contributed on a voluntary basis. The essential information is already available. However, in terms of the interface, there are occasional bugs, and the tool may not address them as quickly as some users would like. Fixing defects and bugs might take a considerable amount of time, with users sometimes having to wait for several months or even a year for the next release to address specific issues."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
"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 source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."
"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."
