PrabhuKrishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good stability and a valuable object identification feature
We evaluated data testing for millions of records. As per architecture, it can efficiently run a few thousands of records. However, we couldn't implement it for millions of records. Thus, it works well for a small amount of data. We have 30 users for it in our organization and use it daily. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
PrabhuKrishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features
The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform contributes to faster test release cycles."
"Tosca is a low-code no-code automation tool, allowing direct automation and reusability of test cases."
"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The platform's reporting aspects can be broader and include more granular details."
"When using it with iOS devices, I cannot start automation directly and must use a remote machine."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."
"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."
"The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. It can be optimized."
"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."
"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The pricing and licensing of Tricentis Tosca were alright. Many customers look for end-to-end enterprise solutions, there were not many challenges with the pricing. However, the customers who are coming from Selenium or similar, feel they're paying a premium for this Tricentis Tosca license. If the right person is there for the implementation of the Tricentis Tosca, then it is one of the best tools in the market."
"In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included."
"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
