Featured Reviews

Dinesh-Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
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 - 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"It has a lot of community posts and support."
"The most valuable aspect of Jenkins is pipeline customization. Jenkins provides a declarative pipeline as well as a scripted pipeline. The scripted pipeline uses a programming language. You can customize it to your needs, so we use Jenkins because other solutions like Travis and Spinnaker don't allow much customization."
"Jenkins integrates with multiple tools like Bitbucket and makes life easier. We don't have to write a lot of code since a lot of libraries are available."
"Jenkins has built good plugins and has a good security platform."
"We used it for all continuous integration parts, like automation testing, deployment, etc."
"It's very easy to learn."
"Also, the ability to customize these plugins is valuable. Its user-friendliness stands out, especially in its user interface which allows easy installation and configuration."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Image recognition: It has allowed us to automate a GUI section of our product which involves drawing different topologies."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."
"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."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
 

Cons

"Jenkins can improve by continuing to add additional plugins for all the new solutions that are coming out within the cloud sphere."
"It could be cheaper."
"Jenkins is an open-source solution, and people tend to stay on the same version for a long time. When you look for an answer on Google, you often find something that doesn't relate to your implementation. The plugins are both the aspect of Jenkins and also one of the worst because the plugins can have different versions, so it's hard to figure out how to solve the problems."
"Developer documentation for plugins, plugin development, integrations: Sometimes it’s tricky to do pretty obvious things."
"Jenkins could simplify the user interface a little bit because it sometimes creates too many features cramped in the UI."
"For this solution to be a 10, it has to be a lot more stable. Maybe the public version of Jenkins is stable, but in our case it's not stable."
"There is no way for the cloud repositories to trigger Jenkins."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"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."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the tool's open-source version which is free. There is an enterprise version which is expensive but comes with better support."
"In our company, we do pay for the licensing of the solution."
"Jenkins is a free open-source server."
"The solution is open source."
"Jenkins is not expensive and reasonably priced."
"It's free software with a big community behind it, which is very good."
"We are using the free version of Jenkins. There is not a license required to use the solution because it is open-source."
"It could be cheaper because there are many solutions available in the market. We are paying yearly."
"​It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."
"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
"I would like to see better costing packs. There are several features but USD $11,000 for one license is expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

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…
