Live connectivity benefits but is lacking customization options
Our primary use of the solution is for mocking of API codes One feature we like is the live connectivity of the product. In other words, you can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data. We haven't used the product…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"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."
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"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 push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
 

Cons

"More examples of portal-based 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"The initial setup was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have the exact dollar amount, but we have spent close to $1,000,000 for a three-year agreement, for an enterprise level."
"There are additional fees for advanced-level technical support."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"There is a yearly licensing cost, and I would give it a four out of five."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
