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 really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"The solution is scalable."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"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."
"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."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The low code is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"The product enables codeless automation."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"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."
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
