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

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

"This product saves time by enabling pretty quick development of data masking/sub-setting the Informatica code."

"Informatica’s support for the entire platform is very good and this product is no exception."

"A very user friendly tool and it’s not mandatory to be technical to use it."

"The customer service and support are very responsive."

"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."

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

"Dynamic data masking is a valuable feature of this product."

More Informatica Test Data Management (TDM) pros

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."

"The automation testing functionality is very powerful."

"We have, within the first six months, been able to automate 85% of our critical business processes and we have been able to maintain that while keeping our BCR ratio down, and we have also seen about 234 defects per month in production drop to less than 8."

"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

"One feature we like is the live connectivity of the product, in other words, you can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."

"We did a full-blown POC, it was super successful and we were able to automate a large number of our scripts and save a lot of time and also automate a lot of our testing."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."

"Good use in Agile workshops, where the person needs to conceptualize the tests before the developer provides the complete application interface."

Cons

"If there were some methods to mask data in the cloud, then that would be good."

"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."

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

"The interface design needs improvement. Sometimes it’s a bit cumbersome."

"Data discovery and the built in policy packs are very simple; they need stronger ones."

"It should enable DevOps in CI/CD environments There should be compatibility with big data in SAP environments: These are most widely used in the enterprise level of the organization"

"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."

"The response from Informatica support was nil."

More Informatica Test Data Management (TDM) cons

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."

"Some issues with stability, but those are minor errors."

"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."

"I personally feel like the pricing is a little bit on the high end."

"The support we received from Tricentis Tosca was good, but it can improve."

"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."

"While the initial setup was straightforward, we required assistance with the configuration to ensure that everything was done correctly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"Pricing could be better."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"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."

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

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

"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."

"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
