We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"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 most valuable feature is that it supports so many protocols. We, being a large bank, have almost all the protocols, and it supports all of them, so that's one good thing."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"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."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature."
"It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"It is not a stable solution."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"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."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS."
"Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria."

Hi Yifat
CA seems the market leader in service virtualization. CA is a niche player in this space while IBM's Greenhat is one of their products in their plethora of products. Having said that, CA Lisa's strength lies in Test Data management and virtualization of any type including and not limited to Java, MQ or any other webservices.
I can comment that IBM is a let arrival to this space and also joins the ranks of application service virtualization vi acquisition.
Consider IBM and CA's track record when it comes to acquiring companies, their technologies and integrating them into their portfolios.
IBM Greenhat
I unfortunately have not used the IBM software. I do have experience with CA LISA and some with Parasoft but I don't know the IBM product well enough to vote.
However there is a company called Voke that does studies and comparisons of them. You could do a google search for Voke and Lisa and IBm and service virtualizaton and likely find that study on white paper. I will check as well.
Hi,
I am looking for similar information as well. If you have any content, please could you let me know where to find it please?
Thanks very much
