Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"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."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"ServiceV Pro enabled our organization to deliver an end-to-end solution by virtualizing external systems, which was easy to implement and provided for a lot of flexibility."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"In times of DevOps, where continuous delivery and deployment is progressing at such a fast pace, ServiceV Pro has emerged as an add-on for enhancing our API product finish."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"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'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."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"It is not a stable solution."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"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."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
"ServiceV still has some bug in the tools, such as structure of the project, integration, and combination with different tools present."
"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
"The effort required to utilize the capabilities/usage of ServiceV Pro looks like the one area where we could have some further improvements"
