We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature which is most valuable in this solution is the ease of use. The product is very easy to use and very easy to implement.""The most valuable feature is that it reduces the dependency so that the down time of the environment is not a major cost. That cost can be used for something else like the cloud.""The support for integration patterns and the ease of use to wizard-based utility is what I would consider the most important features for service virtualization platforms.""The most valuable feature is SAP virtualization.""It is easy to use. This is what I tell my customers. The coding is easier to develop as well."

Cons
"The monitoring feature is not impressive because they use Windows for so much monitoring. They set a lock on the window, and then we have to gather the information from the main monitoring feature in the Windows server. There is not enough capacity for problem solving performance issues.""HPE products are good, but they never make a product for a specific use. They make a product for the enterprise because that is their vision. They like multi-generational business plans. That means that they don't deliver small bits and pieces, but rather, they deliver to the enterprise.""The integration with other solutions, such as ALM and Jira, should be improved.""More support for different protocols. I would love to see more wizards rather than relying on some custom coding, which you can use C# as well as Visual Basic scripting. In the service virtualization platform, I would love to see more wizard features as well as the ability to connect to an external database, which by the way, we have put an enhancement request in for. I'd love to see that in the service virtualization platform.""The current protocol needs to be updated to be much more flexible. The product needs more technical flexibility in implementation and customization."

"It would be ideal if the product offered more in terms of data virtualization or have a separate product that could be combined with this one that could offer a bit more in order to cover more of our requirements."

    Overview
    Realistic simulations of APIs and virtual services get rid of wait times that slow dev and testing down. OpenText Service Virtualization helps you remove dependencies and bottlenecks with its simulation capabilities.

    Go beyond basic mocking and stubbing to create a more robust simulation for APIs and services. Deploy a “digital twin” of your test environment to use as a sandbox for partner development or as a virtual endpoint for internal testing. Parasoft's service virtualization tool, Parasoft Virtualize, enables testers and developers to simulate services or data when access is unavailable or unreliable. The virtual assets can be easily integrated with other testing teams and visualized in a configurable test environment for faster failure detection and debugging with an intuitive codeless interface.
