Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"We have been using it extensively for the shift left process and testing. It helps us to accelerate and virtualize services and assets that we don't have. It enables to test faster."
"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."
"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"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 would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"The initial setup was complex."
