"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"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."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"The initial setup is quite easy to manage."
"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."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"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."
"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."
