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

"This solution has helped us in automating the build and test process, reducing time."
"Very easy to understand for newcomers."
"A lot of support material exists via a single web search of exactly what you're looking for."
"Jenkins's open-based framework is very valuable."
"Jenkins is very user-friendly."
"The deployment of traditional Jenkins is easy."
"It is very useful for us to be able to collect and manage automatic processing pipelines."
"I can install Jenkins for integration from multiple developers and automate application delivery, staging, and production environments."
"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"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."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
 

Cons

"Jenkins needs a faster deployment process."
"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."
"In our case, we have several products built using Jenkins. It is quite difficult to navigate into the latest stable build in a given OS."
"The solution could improve by having more advanced integrations."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"Logging could be improved to offer a clearer view."
"Jenkins can be improved, but it's difficult for me to explain. The initial setup could be more straightforward. If you connect Jenkins with bookings and lockouts, it can be challenging."
"The scriptwriting process could be improved in this solution in the future."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"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."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"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."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jenkins is open source and free."
"It is a free product."
"It is an open source."
"​It is free.​"
"I used the free OSS version all the time. It was enough for all my needs."
"Jenkins is an open-source platform."
"The solution is one of the lowest costs compared to competitors."
"We are using the freeware version of Jenkins."
"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."
"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."
"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."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."
"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 give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

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…
