We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation.""To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex.""Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful.""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.""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 most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to.""It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

More Tricentis Tosca Pros →

"It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management.""Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution.""The solution does its job well.""If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise.""We use the solution for test case management.""It has integration with test automation tools.""It has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."

Cons
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market.""Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution.""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.""I would like to see better integration with other testing tools.""Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive.""There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases.""Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two.""There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

More Tricentis Tosca Cons →

"Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular.""Security needs improvement to protect customer information better.""Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting.""We faced some errors while uploading the test cases.""The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there.""We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches.""The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there.""We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility."
