Seamlessly connects with the ETL engine and has its own policy pack, reducing the need for custom coding

I've only worked with versions 9.7 and 10.5.1, and I'm not familiar with the newest features in the current version, 10.5.1. However, I'm sure they have incorporated AI capabilities, as that is the current industry trend. It is this new buzzword. Informatica itself introduced CLAIRE AI. I am four versions behind. So, it would be good if I upgraded. Plus, Informatica has rebranded this TDM. It's not even originally from Informatica. They purchased the company that makes the application around 2010. Informatica has purchased so many companies for different purposes, like business-to-business, test data management, and more. They change the trade name so frequently. It used to be ILM, Informatica Lifecycle Management, then they changed it to something else, then Test Data Management, and then Security Governance and Policy Management or something like that. It's all different names for the same product. Frequent rebranding and name changes can create confusion for customers.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Informatica Test Data Management is a complete solution. I'm not very deep in the technical aspect of the solution, but most of the workflows are now completely automated. There are some minor elements where we have to still add manual parts to the implementation."

"Organizations working on different projects can benefit from this tool."

"The tool enabled us to leverage Teradata Parallel Transporter to write the masked data efficiently to our Teradata warehouse."

"The most valuable feature of TDM is its ability to mask data while maintaining referential integrity."

"The customer service and support are very responsive."

"The most valuable feature of TDM is its ability to mask data while maintaining referential integrity."

"Informatica TDM is also developer-friendly, making it easy for ETL developers to pick up and use without extensive training."

"We do not need to write complex SQL statements as the solution provides a GUI to perform activities."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"The features I find most valuable in Tricentis Tosca are that it's the easiest way to build the scripts and to do the CI/CD process; using Tricentis Tosca is very useful and easy."

"The scriptless automation tool is one of the important features."

"The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander."

"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."

"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."

"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."

"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"Frequent rebranding and name changes can create confusion for customers."

"A lot of improvement is needed, mainly due to the fact that the tool is very slow."

"The UI experience is a little bit old. When applying more than 80 columns, it means doing it in phases, as it won't allow it in one go."

"There is a lag while opening the console, which is a concern from my end."

"When it came time to upgrade from 9.7 to 10.1, we could upgrade all the other products, but there was an issue with TDM. It seemed like they weren't ready for the upgrade."

"There are numerous issues, and we have reported these to the Informatica vendor."

"Informatica has a data governance suite, and at the moment, there is no connection between the data governance elements, such as the data catalog, and the Informatica Test Data Management software. For example, the data discovery which is part of both solutions is two separate things. If you have a data discovery in the data catalog, then we cannot use it for Informatica Test Data Management purposes and vice versa. The same software vendor, has two different products, with the same functionality. There's was no need to separate things. This is something which was a problem in a use case of the customer where this was the reason why they didn't choose the Informatica solution."

"Probably the ideal time testing site, utilizing self-service for real-time testing, could be an area for improvement."

"It can be quite expensive."

"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

"The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure."

"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."

"Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It should improve the testing of legacy systems and interfaces."

"When using it with iOS devices, I cannot start automation directly and must use a remote machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive because the license needs to be bought for some time period. It's not pay as you go."

"The cost is not an issue for enterprises, but for smaller businesses, it could be."

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."

"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."
