Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The most valuable feature is that it supports so many protocols. We, being a large bank, have almost all the protocols, and it supports all of them, so that's one good thing."
"You can have a lot of different people with different technologies use the tool, without any programming experience at all, all the way up to people who can program. And then, the more technical that you are, the more programming you have, the more you're able to customize the tool."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
