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

"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"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."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"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 most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"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 push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"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."
"It is not a stable solution."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"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 rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"The initial setup was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly licensing cost, and I would give it a four out of five."
"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."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"There are additional fees for advanced-level technical support."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
