"When compared to other tools, it is very simple."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"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."

"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."
"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage."
"What is currently missing from this solution is better support for mobile testing."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"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 Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"The solution is expensive."
"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."
"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."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
