Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well.""It is definitely scalable.""Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.).""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.""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 most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services.""We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."

"​Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users.""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.""It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier.""The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high.""The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement.""Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."

Cons
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one.""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'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.""It is not a stable solution.""Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements.""The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift.""More examples of portal-based virtualization.""I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."

"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this.""One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement.""I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved.""Technical support could be improved.""One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all.""The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script.""I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution.""Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."

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."

    CA Service Virtualization acts as a catalyst for DevOps by simulating constrained or unavailable systems across the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
