Pros
"Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation.""The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse.""Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool."

More Informatica Test Data Management (TDM) Pros →

"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems.""It's a simple tool, particularly in terms of system testing. You can also convert and automate using Tricentis Tosca with ease.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution.""This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated.""Compared to other tools we have been looking at, you don't have to be a programmer to operate it, though it helps. It also a product that can be used by business people.""The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."

Cons
"Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution.""The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go.""Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement."

"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.""Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response.""Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely.""In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows.""The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve.""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.""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.""I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
