Room For Improvement

Broadcom Test Data Manager needs improved integration, performance, and UI along with enhanced scalability, security, and data visualization features.
Tricentis Tosca needs better integration, object recognition, documentation, mobile testing, UI, cost-effective licensing, support, reporting, and AI features.
The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work.
If a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly.
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
 

Setup Cost

Broadcom Test Data Manager's flexible licensing competes with IBM, may be cost-effective, but pricing varies based on usage and needs.
Tricentis Tosca's high costs suit large enterprises, while smaller companies may prefer open-source alternatives for automation.
The pricing for Tricentis Tosca is extremely high, and I rate it as ten in terms of expense.
A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros.
For enterprise customers, the cost is manageable because it provides solutions for multiple applications they want to automate.

Broadcom Test Data Manager excels in synthetic data generation, masking, and subsetting, enhancing compliance, efficiency, and cost savings.
Tricentis Tosca simplifies testing with scriptless automation, model-based testing, broad technology support, and seamless integration with other tools.
It allows for drag-and-drop functionality and demo automation in SAP-based applications, which can be challenging with other automation tools.
The modular approach reduces scripting effort by at least fifty percent, which significantly cuts down on the script development time.
The most useful features of Tricentis Tosca include API scanning, basic web application automation, and data validation capabilities.

Featured Reviews

Hosney Osman - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers great utility with synthetic data generation and reliable technical support
Overall, this can definitely be the advantage of the product, and I'm happy with these functionalities that Broadcom provides. I totally recommend any application working on the database layer directly and I don't recommend any applications from other external vendors to perform the same function. Oracle and PostgreSQL have similar applications and they both work directly in the database, reading directly from the database, transforming values in another table within the same database, making it easy to run. The solution is saving me time and money in general because this application saves money and a lot of effort. I can generate any amount of data from Broadcom Test Data Manager, which has a lot of information and equations regarding this task. It saves money because my testing team needs this data to create use cases tested on realistic data. Broadcom Test Data Manager adds great value to my organization, but I believe it can be afforded only in international, large-sized companies. It is not affordable for medium or small-sized organizations.
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.
