We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and ReadyAPI Virtualization based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."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 create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"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."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"In times of DevOps, where continuous delivery and deployment is progressing at such a fast pace, ServiceV Pro has emerged as an add-on for enhancing our API product finish."
"ServiceV Pro enabled our organization to deliver an end-to-end solution by virtualizing external systems, which was easy to implement and provided for a lot of flexibility."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"The technical support is good."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"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."
"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."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"The effort required to utilize the capabilities/usage of ServiceV Pro looks like the one area where we could have some further improvements"
"ServiceV still has some bug in the tools, such as structure of the project, integration, and combination with different tools present."
"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
