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."API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"Apache JMeter is well-known and widely used among developers, particularly on popular developer forums. While it may not have the most user-friendly interface, it offers strong support through official manuals and various articles from companies providing load testing services. The tool is free, has a substantial community, and serves as a fundamental choice for testers, especially those new to performance testing. While other tools like K6 may be more developer-oriented, JMeter's affordability and accessibility make it suitable for those without extensive performance testing experience."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"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."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"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."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."
"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."
"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."
"There could be improvements in terms of memory utilization. We are going to migrate away from JMeter in the near future."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"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."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
