"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"User-friendly and open source."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is it is a completely scriptless automation tool, which I liked a lot. They keep on continuously improving their tools, wherever we are facing any challenges they are able to provide a solution for it. It is easy to learn, everyone can easily read and understand what is happening with the scripts. Any business user or function tester can use the tool efficiently. This is a complete solution package."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"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 UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
