The solution is stable, can be implemented in less than an hour, and run parallel requests

I give the solution nine out of ten. In older versions, the network protocol only supported up to six users per ID. The latest version 9.4 has been improved by increasing the number of users per ID to 30. With this solution, you can add users to Tricentis NeoLoad Web so they can visit the site and see what is happening. When running a load test the users have read-only access and can see what is happening on the server side with the number of requests in use, the throughput, and the failure rate. JMeter is another solution that can support all the protocols but we found that it was not recording properly and would not allow us to customize as required so we chose this solution. Any person thinking of using this solution must have a minimum knowledge of gathering and using variables, and be familiar with performance testing and JavaScript in order to operate successfully.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the solution’s performance and integration. Also, the tool’s help center is very responsive and helpful. They have always helped me within a short duration of time."

"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."

"My company has a good experience with Tricentis NeoLoad, and what I like best about it is that it lets you generate loads from different geographies. The load generation agents getting placed on different geographies is a very good feature of the solution. I also like that you can scale up Tricentis NeoLoad very quickly. The general feedback on performance testing with Tricentis NeoLoad for all product lines within my company is good."

"It helped in achieving the testing of on-premise applications, as well as cloud-based applications, without much difficulty."

"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."

"Learning-wise, it's pretty straightforward and flexible because if the person has little knowledge of performance testing and the process, they can definitely easily grab the knowledge from NeoLoad."

"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."

"The most effective aspect is especially when I'm renaming all the scripting factors, basically the containers that I use."

More Tricentis NeoLoad pros

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the Salesforce scanning. There are two scanning for Salesforce applications. There is Salesforce scanning and normal application scanning. Object identification has been really useful in Tricentis Tosca."

"It's stable and reliable."

"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."

"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."

"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."

"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

"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."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"The debugging part of Tricentis NeoLoad takes time."

"Most people focus on HTTPS or TCP, but it would be good to have support for a variety of different protocols."

"Tricentis NeoLoad could improve the terminal emulation mainframe. It is not able to use the low code or no code option. You have to code it yourself."

"Tricentis NeoLoad's mobile platform acts as a stand-alone application but needs to be integrated with the main interface"

"The protocol support area could be improved."

"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."

"The solution’s pricing is higher compared to other tools. Though the product’s reports are accurate, it needs to be more detailed like other tools."

"It needs improvement with post-production."

More Tricentis NeoLoad cons

"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."

"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."

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

"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."

"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."

"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have information on the licensing cost of Tricentis NeoLoad because my manager handles that. From a testing perspective and based on company requirements, the current license is for one thousand users."

"NeoLoad now has a much more flexible licensing process."

"Tricentis NeoLoad is much cheaper compared to other tools like LoadRunner."

"Licence cost is very attractive compared to other vendor tools and also there are many license alternatives."

"The solution requires an annual license."

"The tool's pricing is somewhat higher than licensed tools like LoadRunner. The approximate cost is around $25,000. There are no additional charges for maintenance or support. Everything is included in the package we have."

"Licensing for NeoLoad is subscription-based."

"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."

More Tricentis NeoLoad pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a ten. The licensing model is based on a yearly basis."

"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."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."

"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to talk about the pricing, but it has some significant costs. For example, you have to pay a license and maintenance fee. Then the rest of the terms are negotiable. We have to consider what we need and what benefit we get from it."
