Consultant at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

A highly-scalable and stable solution that reduces deployment time and produces a significant return on investment

The dashboard needs to be improved. Though the access management and authentication functionalities are present, the dashboard and UI could be more user-friendly. The product has many plug-ins. Users have to go through the documentation to be able to use the product. The UI must be more user-friendly. The information should be available in the dashboard itself. The users shouldn’t have to refer to the documentation. When a user hovers over the elements on the dashboard, it should reveal information about them.

Antonio Oteri

IT Telecom Quality Senior Tester at TIM

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The initial setup is simple."

"It is easy to use."

"Configuration management: It is so easy to configure a Jenkins instance. Migrate configuration to a new environment just by copying XML files and setting up new nodes."

"It offers continuous deployment and continuous testing. It enables us to figure out anything."

"It's a powerful tool for CI/CD."

"The most valuable features of Jenkins are the ease of use and the information about how to use the features is readily available on the internet. Additionally, with the solution, I can use other reporting tools, such as Flow."

"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."

"We have started to integrate Pipelines as a part of a build, and built a library of common functions. It simplified and made our build scripts more readable."

More Jenkins pros

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."

"I like how the modules are set up, particularly how you can use the screens you're automating. This automation helps save both time and money because we use less test capacity regarding personnel."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"The reporting is really nice."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"There are some difficulties when we need to execute the DB script."

"I sometimes face a bottleneck when installing the plugins on an offline machine. Mapping the dependencies and then installing the correct sequence of dependencies is a nightmare, and it took me two days to do it."

"And I don't care too much for the Jenkins user interface. It's not that user-friendly compared to other solutions available right now. It's not a great user experience. You can do just fine if you are a techie, but it would take a novice some time to learn it and get things done."

"They need to improve their documentation."

"The bug fix speed is very slow."

"The user interface could be updated a little."

"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."

"This solution could be improved by removing the storage of unnecessary data such as the history of test deployments that were unsuccessful."

More Jenkins cons

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."

"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 Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work. The exploratory testing feature is not working for version 2023.1, which we are currently using."

"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."

"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."

"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work."

"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source."

"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."

"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."

"The open-source version is free, but small companies would not be able to afford the cloud-based version."

"Jenkins is an open-source platform."

"Jenkins is open source."

"It is a cheap solution."

"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."

More Jenkins pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."

"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"It is expensive."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."

I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins.

Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis…
