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 appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"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."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"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 reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"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."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"It requires some coding customization that requires expertise."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"I would like a better user interface."
