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

"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"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."
"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 ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"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."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."
 

Cons

"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"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."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"It is not a stable solution."
"​From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"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 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."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."
