We performed a comparison between OpenText Service Virtualization and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."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."
"It is easy to use. This is what I tell my customers. The coding is easier to develop as well."
"The most valuable feature is SAP virtualization."
"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 solution has some good scanning features."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"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."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The integration with other solutions, such as ALM and Jira, should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
