"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology. They listen to feedback from the analysts about what the testing tool should do, and then Tricentis always implements it. So all the necessary testing functions are already implemented in their tools.""The technical support is good, we were satisfied.""It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting.""The low code is the best feature.""The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features.""It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""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."

Cons
"There are a number of things that they can do to simplify the tools, but the most important thing that they need to do is simplify the installation.""It should have more interfaces. In terms of interfaces or protocols, what you can do with Rational is far limited as compared to other products out there. What it does, it does great, but it only gives you limited types of protocols. It supports between 8 to 15 types of protocols, whereas other test tools give you 20 to 30 types of protocols with which you can do testing and convert to script. It records Javascript-based scripts, and you got to know a little bit of Java to basically be able to edit them, but the level of editing you got to do is very low. I like that, but the ability to edit the script is not as good as Parasoft or LoadRunner, which have C-Script."

More IBM Rational Test Workbench Cons →

"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows.""The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage.""Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation.""The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve.""The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking.""Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen.""The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market.""The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
