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 find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"The solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"It's a free tool."
"Scripting with the solution is good."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"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 low code is the best feature."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"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."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"The UI could be better."
"JMeter is lagging when it comes to GUI performance testing because we need to install some third-party plugins for recording the GUI script, and the performance isn't very reliable."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
