Most of the CA products go through a lot of compliance and certifications. So they apply secure coding and secure build; hence the product stability is too good. And apart from that, there is a community outside. It's a publicly available community, and it's very responsive. You don't need to drive the ticket in the portal if you have any issues. You can paste your queries. In the community, you'll immediately get the response because a dedicated team handles the community.

The stability of TDM is probably what I love about it the most. We have not had any major issues at any point since we have started utilizing the tool. Anytime we have had either a small bug or something that we would like to see as an enhancement, it is always been a quick call to the support team to be able to work on it with me.

The stability of the tool has never been an issue. Any time a possible defect has surfaced, the support team was quick to respond. Beyond that, there have been constant new versions created that provide optimizations.

I would say very stable. At this point, the solution is very well-vetted and used and maintained, so we are able to get good results out of the tools that we are using.

We didn't face any issues with stability.

The only problems we had, and we asked CA to solve, were some very deep things related to our products. It was not core issues, in fact. It was, '"We would like to have this because it's faster, or that because it's more robust or valuable."

TDM has been around for a couple of years. I used it at my previous company, as well. It's been really stable. It's a tool that probably doesn't get utilized fully. We intend on taking that, partnering it with the SV solution and being able to generate the data for the service virtualization aspect.

The stability of the solution is really fine. I think the really big question is the stability of underlying system that it's trying to manipulate and the tool is the tool, it does what it needs to do.

Stability is fine. It's stable. It's not like it crashes or anything like that, because it's just a utility that we use to generate data. Once we generate the data, we capture it and maintain it. We don't use the tool to continually generate data, we only generate it for the specific test case, and then don't generate it again. But it gives us the ability to handle all the various combinations of variables, that's the big part.

It is stable, but it is not where even CA wants it to be. There have been numerous releases going on and there are still some we are waiting for. But, overall it's good.

Stability for the past year and a half has been very good. We have not had an outage that has prevented us from doing anything. It has allowed us to connect to the critical databases that we need, so no challenges.

Front Line Manager at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

There have been major upgrades in the last couple of years. There was a stability issue, when I started to work on it. After we upgraded to 4.0, a lot of these problems were solved and there were advanced features, as well. With 4.0, the product is now really stable, and working fine.

The stability issue was that we used to log in and see errors. We had to work around them. For example, we would log through the admin, then run some queries, and log back in again. After the upgrade was done, everything now appears to be fine.

We still use the old tech line version of it, but we have seen the demos as it's moving to the web interface. I think its going to be very stable going down the line.

It has become pretty stable over the past couple of years. When it started it had issues but right now, I don't think there are any major issues.

The stability is wonderful on it. I don't think that, at any point, have I had a showstopper issue with the application. It's never caused any major issues with our systems, and I will give credit where credit's due. Even right now, as they continue to enhance the tool, it has still stayed wonderfully stable through that process, and everyone on CA’s side has been there to support on any kind of small bug or enhancement that might come up along the way.

Looking at the use cases that we have seen and some of the customer testimonials that we see, I think it shows it has gone through the journey and how the quality of the product is. Some of the proof of concepts that we have done, working with the technology people, we can see the stability of the product; how it can also be very useful to our company.
