Tricentis Tosca Reviews

As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding. This ease of implementation and time-saving feature distinguishes it from other products. 

The tool provides a smooth transition from Selenium and other tools, allowing users to develop frameworks for different functional workflows. The ease of downloading and activating the tool, emphasizing productivity and time-saving features, makes it a valuable choice. We can handle multiple execution and test cases. 

The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges.

I have been using the product for four years. 

Tricentis Tosca is stable. 

My company has five users for the product. 

We used Selenium before Tricentis Tosca. We chose the product because of its time-saving and ease-of-use features. It also helps us to be more productive. 

The tool's deployment is easy and can be completed in one day. 

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

It is recommended to start with training sessions to understand how to use the tool effectively. Pricing might vary based on your organization's specific needs and requirements, so exploring the pricing options is advised. I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

The tool's most valuable feature is Tosca Commander. 

The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations. 

I have been working with the product for five years. 

The tool is 99 percent stable if you follow its key specifications and best practices. 

From the automation perspective, Tricentis Tosca's scalability is good. 

We have a portal to contact the support team. 

Positive

The tool's deployment and maintenance are easy. We get access to the knowledge-based documents in the portal. Deployment can be completed in five to ten minutes. 

The tool is worth its cost. 

Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive. 

I rate Tricentis Tosca an eight out of ten. 

We have used the product for web application automation and SAP functional automation, as well as for Microsoft Dynamics 365 process automation.

There is a specific feature in Tricentis Tosca called Vision AI. What it does is basically it'll capture the entire screen, and you can automate anything that can be viewed on our screen. For example, if you are trying to access an application like Teams, so if you want to select any user and call him, you can do that. Anything that is on a screen, you can automate using that Vision AI tool.

The interface is pretty simple, and it's user-friendly, so people with minimal knowledge also can start using the Tosca tool. The widgets and the invoicing are also user-friendly.

It's stable and reliable.

The solution can scale.

Support is helpful. 

Pricing is affordable. 

In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides. So basically, if you want to automate something, you have to really do some research and then start doing it. Having documentation would be helpful, and that is something that needs to be provided, maybe as a jump start to getting going with the product.

There are certain engines that are available that will identify the objects. Yet, there are some engines that are not available, so we need to customize them.

The setup can take a while as the licensing is confusing. 

The response time for support can be slow. 

I've been using the solution for around two or three years. 

The stability is excellent. I would rate it nine out of ten. 

We have a team of 250 people on the solution right now. We have five active licenses on five servers. We have mostly testers on the product. 

It is a scalable solution and a powerful tool. I'd rate scalability eight out of ten. 

We likely will increase usage in the future. 

There is a lack of a knowledge base, and the time it takes for them to respond is a bit slow. While there is a delay in response, their help is quite good. 

Neutral

I've also used Micro Focus and Selenium.

I'd rate the initial setup around six out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. The initial setup was difficult. However, we took support help from the Tosca team, and then we tried to resolve the issues. 

The only issue really is the licensing issue. You need to activate the license and for activating the license, and there is no specific straightforward way to do it. You need to connect to the Tricentis support team, and then you need to get an activation link, followed by their code and all that. It's a challenge.

For deployment, if you have the activation link, it'll be done immediately, instantly, maybe in hours. Otherwise, if you do not have the activation link, then it might take days since you need to connect with support.

Most clients I come across prefer open-source solutions and may move towards Selenium to keep the tool cost down. However, if we are using commercial tools like this one, it will take two to three years to realize an ROI.

The pricing is good. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of affordability. 

We are partners. 

I'm working with the latest version of the solution. 

I would recommend the solution since the tool is user-friendly and easy to use. It comes with a lot of features, and it's a very powerful tool. I would definitely recommend it compared to other tools.

I'd rate it nine out of ten overall.

We primarily use the solution for automation testing. 

The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based. This is the thing that I like about Tosca. It means there is no hassle in coding. 

Every tool has a disadvantage. There are some technologies that are not scanned, for example. 

The product needs more technology coverage when scanning modules as not all the modules can be scanned and we have to check for workarounds. We have to overcome the fact that not every technology can be scanned using the module scanner.

It can be quite expensive. 

The product does not have an open-source option. 

I've used the solution for more than five years. 

The stability is okay. I'd rate it seven out of ten in terms of reliability. Sometimes I do face issues around stability, however, most of the time, it is fine. 

The scalability is pretty good. I would rate it seven out of ten in terms of how easy it would be to expand. 

We have more than eight people using this solution in our organization. It could be a bit more. We do have a client on it as well, and we are working with them.

Technical support is extremely good. They are helpful and responsive, and we've been more than satisfied with the level of support they provide. They are the best.

Positive

I did use another solution and used a combination of Tosca and UFT. That was five years ago, and the Tosca technology was a bit different. We were not able to scan the system attributes, for example, using Tosca back then. I introduced another automation tool to open it and run the script and then get back to the original script. It was like a work-around and, at the time, it was successful.

The process for implementation is pretty normal and pretty straightforward. I would rate it eight out of ten overall in terms of ease of deployment. I'm just upgrading it, and it is not hard.

How long it takes to deploy depends on the project scale. For the big project, I it would take us two days. The time it takes depends on the VDIs, the number of VDIs, and how they will be scheduled for deployment.

We had a consultant help deploy the solution for us. 

The cost is high for this solution. It is one of the highest in the market. That said, most big companies go for licensed automation applications in general due to security. It's not an open-source product. Big companies do prefer the licensed tool over free options.

Our company is partnered with Tricentis.

We're using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's user-friendly, easy to learn, and doesn't require any coding. New users, however, must take some lessons before starting with it. Most of the time, they might have colleagues to transfer knowledge and that makes things simpler. Still, it's really easy.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use this solution for a lot of their applications. For example, we use GIS map-based applications and develop solutions around them. We also use the technology to draw a polygon and use API for the mobile solution. We use a silver-based application that will soon be obsolete and some cloud-based applications.

The low code is the best feature, and clients like it.

We are still exploring the solution but would like a capability where the infrastructure has a code that we can verify using Tricentis Tosca. We are examining how to integrate this with the keyboard and our credentials through Tosca. We want to integrate with other solutions for credential repositories, so we don't need to provide a username and password in the solution explicitly. It would be good if it could grab a specific key and utilize it in the task for execution.

Currently, with Tricentis Tosca, we need to install it as an application on our machine, but it would be better if we could assess a solution. It requires some coding customization that requires expertise, so having free services along with the licenses would be good. Some clients have complained that they need to pay for additional services every time they open a ticket.

We have hands-on experience with Tricentis Tosca and have completed Tricentis Tosca training because we are an Alliance partner. We utilized it when we completed training on installing the software, ES1 and ES2. We have been trying to purchase this tool for almost two and a half years. Our clients are almost updated on it, and we are about to deploy this solution in our client locations. They will be using version 15.2.

It is a stable solution.

We have no issues with scalability. We have a solution architect and a few team members who will develop it.

The initial setup was not complex, and there were no hurdles.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. From a UI perspective, there are no issues, but pricing could be better. Our clients had been asking for this solution for over two years, and pricing was the main reason we didn't have it. I would recommend this solution to other companies if they have the budget.

Tricentis Tosca has many use cases. Currently, we are using it for Salesforce testing. The solution can also be used for work safety testing and for API testing.

Tricentis Tosca supports multiple technologies, which means there is no need to use different tools for various tasks. In our current project, we are conducting Salesforce testing and API testing, both of which can be done using Tricentis Tosca. This makes it easier for us to test different technologies. Additionally, Tricentis Tosca is scalable, allowing us to easily create multiple combinations of test cases using templates by varying the data. Tricentis Tosca also offers distributed execution, enabling us to conduct parallel testing and execute a high number of test cases, depending on the number of agents we have available. This greatly speeds up the application testing process.

The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca.

Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved.

I am interested in exploring the features related to artificial intelligence that can help generate data feeds and assist in reducing the time required to design scripts. Therefore, I would like to see AI-related features in the upcoming phase.

The quality of the technical support and the response time has room for improvement.

I have been using Tricentis Tosca for over 20 years.

I give the stability of the solution a seven out of ten. In general, the stability is satisfactory; however, we encounter performance problems as the size of our repository increases.

I give the scalability of the solution an eight out of ten.

The quality of the support and the response time is lacking.

I previously used Micro Focus UFT Developer. However, back then, there were significant differences between Micro Focus UFT and Tricentis Tosca.

The initial setup for a single data report is straightforward, however, if we are using multi-user repositories, it will require some experienced technical assistance.

I give the initial setup a seven out of ten.

The deployment duration may vary based on the infrastructure, but it typically takes a couple of hours.

If we don't need a multiple-user repository, we just download the installation file and proceed with the installation of Tricentis Tosca. However, a valid license is necessary to use the software. In the case of a multiple-user repository, connecting an SQL server to Tricentis Tosca becomes a prerequisite before we can start using the solution.

The implementation is completed in-house.

I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven. The solution is priced high.

I give Tricentis Tosca an eight out of ten.

We have up to 80 people using the solution.

I highly recommend Tricentis Tosca to others due to its extensive support for numerous technologies and platforms, making it a valuable tool.

We utilize Tricentis Tosca to reduce our release cycle timing for our SAP releases. We have at least one release every quarter. We also use it for automation.

We have to automate thousands of test cases and complete end-to-end SAP on business processes. To manually execute these tasks, it would take us at least two months. By automating these tasks using Tosca, now it takes five to 10 days maximum. Tricentis Tosca is a codeless or scriptless automation tool.

Test case design and test data management are the most valuable features for us.

With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants.

The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement.

I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release.

I've been using Tricentis Tosca for the last nine years.

In terms of stability, I would rate the solution at nine out of ten.

I would rate Tosca's scalability at eight out of ten. We have 10 users and 10 exemption licenses in our organization. We plan to increase usage in the near future.

Initially, we were able to create a case. Right now, that function is not very useful. We also have to request remote access. In addition, sending large files is a bit cumbersome because our organization's policy does not allow us to upload anything to Tricentis' cloud or network.

Thus, I would rate technical support at six on a scale from one to ten.

Neutral

We used Micro Focus UFT and SmartBear. UFT requires a framework each time, and SmartBear requires coding. Both of these solutions had limitations with regard to our enterprise-level technology stack, and therefore, we decided to go with Tricentis Tosca.

The initial setup is easy, and I would rate it at eight out of ten. The deployment process took at least 48 to 72 hours.

We deployed it ourselves with help from third-party teams. We had four people involved in the deployment including engineers and a manager.

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.

Tricentis Tosca does not provide much support for reports and mobile automation. The speed of execution of mobile automation is low. Also, test case creation and the creation of models take a lot of time in the mobile engine.

Overall, I would rate Tricentis Tosca at eight on a scale from one to ten with one being the worst and ten being the best.

We use Tricentis Tosca for test automation.

The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution.

What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved.

An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Tricentis Tosca is a distributed repository mechanism because it's required in the current installation for my company.

We have a contract with Tricentis Tosca, and we've been using the solution for six years now. We're using the latest version, which is version 14 because there was this bug called the Log4j.

Tricentis Tosca is a pretty stable solution.

In terms of scalability, that's a challenge in Tricentis Tosca. Scaling the solution is quite difficult because it uses only Windows environments, so it's not a good solution for scaling up. Right now, we rely on Windows, but we are moving to the cloud, so scaling Tricentis Tosca would be difficult for us.

The technical support for Tricentis Tosca isn't quick, but it's useful.

The initial setup for Tricentis Tosca was pretty straightforward.

Initially, for the deployment of Tricentis Tosca, we used a consultancy company, but now we do its deployment in-house.

In terms of the licensing costs for Tricentis Tosca, we are spending more or less $70,000 per year. We have a very complex mechanism because there are some business users and some BI users, so the licensing structure is not simple, but support is included.

My company is using Tricentis Tosca and is an end-user of the solution.

With the Tricentis Tosca installation that my company has, one person is enough for maintenance.

My advice to others looking into implementing Tricentis Tosca is to limit it. I would use it only for specific test automation requirements, and I wouldn't use it for other purposes because it's a very expensive solution.

My rating for Tricentis Tosca is seven out of ten.
