Sentiment score
7.4
Tricentis Tosca is stable, with minor license issues and occasional slowdowns, but vendor support effectively resolves challenges.
The stability of Tricentis Tosca is rated ten out of ten. It is very stable.
I find stability issues when using the Vision AI feature; Tricentis Tosca is not very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Broadcom Test Data Manager needs faster imports, better mining, cloud support, improved stability, pricing, scalability, and Jira integration.
Tricentis Tosca needs better integration, object recognition, documentation, mobile testing, UI, cost-effective licensing, support, reporting, and AI features.
Moving to a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one could improve Tosca.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Broadcom Test Data Manager's pricing is flexible and often cheaper, but some users find annual licensing costs expensive.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Broadcom Test Data Manager offers a self-service portal, user-friendly interface, data generation, data masking, and synthetic data creation.
Tricentis Tosca simplifies testing with scriptless automation, model-based testing, broad technology support, and seamless integration with other 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.
It allows for drag-and-drop functionality and demo automation in SAP-based applications, which can be challenging with other automation tools.

Featured Reviews

Amit-Rastogi - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to create synthetic data and new data sets
Broadcom Test Data Manager is for data management. I would like to see some extension with data warehousing concerning ETL. It should also integrate with Jira or other reporting tools. Currently, after creating data, we update tickets and other information in various tools. This would enable us to attach relevant files or information to specific tickets.
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.
