We performed a comparison between Panaya Test Dynamix and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing Tools."It is easy for business users to use who are not familiar with testing tools."
"The initial setup was not complex and the product itself is very easy to configure and use."
"Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing."
"Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format."
"The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy the scenarios and as we do a rollout we can efficiently complete test three and put it somewhere else under a new subsidiary."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"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 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."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."
"Support is reactive and in English only."
"They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great."
"It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories and we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we have a network connection."
"The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install."
"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."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."

@Jesús Antonio Santos Giraldo; both companies deliver excellent tools & services. It's going to come down to your use cases.
If you choose the wrong tool for your use case the risks are: Loss of time, money and opportunities. That's not going to be the tool's fault.
Tips that may help you in deciding:
- Use your current tools / last tools as benchmark to determine your future needs.
- Ask questions, here are a few to get you started:
-- What are your requirements?
-- Pros and cons of our current tools.
-- How much time do you want to spend developing and maintaining test scripts (assuming you want to automate)
--Who will work with the tool?
-- What do they have to say about their experience with current / past tools?
- Build a matrix based on feedback received, decide which points really matter in your matrix.
- Inform your org of the research you've done and ask for more input
- Go with a few key folks who work with / worked with the tools you are targeting and have a meeting with Tricentis / Panaya.
- Tell your story and ask how their tool can meet your need.
- Go back to your leadership and share what you learned,
- See if you can get a trial from the toolmakers. ;-) and try out a real world test.
- Make a documented decision on why tool X and not tool Y
