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 distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Apache JMeter are user-friendliness, large resource, and the quality of assistance they provide. Additionally, it is easy to integrate with cloud platforms, such as AWS."
"Due to process automation, I don't have to prepare reports, making it the perfect solution."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jenkins and the reporting."
"The solution is free. You don't need to worry about licensing costs."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"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."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"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."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"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."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"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 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."
