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."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."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"JMeter lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"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."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."
"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 solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"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."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"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."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"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."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"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."
