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."JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"It's a free tool."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"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."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"Considering the kinds of tests we are performing here, where we launch several tests at the same time as a batch request, JMeter is not the best tool for the job. Those kinds of things could be done easily with other tools, like T6."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"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."
