Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"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."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"The initial setup is quite easy to manage."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"It would be ideal if the product offered more in terms of data virtualization or have a separate product that could be combined with this one that could offer a bit more in order to cover more of our requirements."
