We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization.""It is definitely scalable.""There are several areas that are easily configurable.""It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility.""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.""You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs.""The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET.""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."

"It offers a wide range of testing.""Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier.""The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation.""The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high.""UFT has improved our ability to regression test.""UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support.""It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."

Cons
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server.""I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization.""They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity.""UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented.""​From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach.""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.""Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements.""CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."

More Broadcom Service Virtualization Cons →

"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS.""Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers.""I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better.""The AI feature needs improvement. For banking applications, we input formatted text from documents, but the AI feature is recognizing three fields as one field, e.g., for a phone number, it puts all 10 digits in the international code or country code. Then, the script fails.""The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java.""We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes.""I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason.""I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
  • "There are additional fees for advanced-level technical support."
  • "I don't have the exact dollar amount, but we have spent close to $1,000,000 for a three-year agreement, for an enterprise level."
  • "There is a yearly licensing cost, and I would give it a four out of five."
  • More Broadcom Service Virtualization Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
