Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"It is definitely scalable."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"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."
"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."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"It is not a stable solution."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"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."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
