"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"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."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"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."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The reporting is really nice."
"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."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"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 only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"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."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"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."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"It can be quite expensive."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"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."
"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."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"Making it more stable would be good because we get around 90% stability."
