Room For Improvement

Users desire improved pricing, efficiency, integration, documentation, reporting, customization, access control, and enhanced support for testing and setup.
Tricentis Tosca needs improvements in usability, cost, test features, integration, and ease of learning for new users.
The licensing cost is also a concern since BlazeMeter is not free like JMeter, which limits its use.
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
 

Setup Cost

BlazeMeter offers flexible pricing, including pay-as-you-go and annual fees, suitable for larger organizations but pricey for smaller ones.
Tricentis Tosca is costly for SMEs, with annual licenses up to Є20,000, but deals are possible for large enterprises.
BlazeMeter requires licensing, which means it is not free like JMeter, adding to the setup cost considerations.
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.
For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.

BlazeMeter offers scalable, user-friendly cloud-based performance testing with global capabilities and integration support, ideal for high-load tests.
Tricentis Tosca provides user-friendly, scriptless test automation with model-based testing, handling complex scenarios for efficient, flexible testing.
BlazeMeter offers a higher limit on load simulation compared to standalone JMeter.
It allows for drag-and-drop functionality and demo automation in SAP-based applications, which can be challenging with other automation tools.
The most useful features of Tricentis Tosca include API scanning, basic web application automation, and data validation capabilities.

Reduced our test operating costs, provides quick feedback, and helps us understand how to build better test cases
Overall, it's helped our ability to address test data challenges. The test data features on their own are very good, but version control test data isn't included yet. I think that's an area for improvement. We can update the test data on the cloud. That's a good feature. There's also test data management, which is good. [Runscope] doesn't have the test data management yet. Mock services do, and performance testing has it. We can do the same test through JMeter, validating the same criteria, but the feedback from [Runscope] is quite visible. We can see the request and the response, what data comes back, and add the validation criteria. We can manage the test environments and test data, but running the same API request for multiple test data is missing. We cloned the test cases multiple times to run it. They need to work on that. Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within [Runscope] would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes. In the future, I would like to see integrations with GitLab and external Git reports so we could have some sort of version control outside as well. There is no current mechanism for that. The ability to have direct imports of spoken API specifications instead of converting them to JSON would be nice. There are some features they could work on.
Antonio Oteri - PeerSpot reviewer
Ability to automate tests across various platforms and simplifies test creation
From what I've seen with my colleagues who make the software selection, the prices for this software in Brazil are too expensive to be applied to anything but huge customers. I'm surprised because I was in charge of planning and control at the company before, when there was a manager there. Normally, the company has structural licenses that are based on the company they are selling to. I see that these companies cannot spend this money on Tricentis. I think Tosca is losing this type of market. They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies. The same happened in the past with SAP, which changed its policy and also made licenses for low.
