Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."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."
"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."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"You can have a lot of different people with different technologies use the tool, without any programming experience at all, all the way up to people who can program. And then, the more technical that you are, the more programming you have, the more you're able to customize the tool."
"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."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"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."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"It is not a stable solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
