We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature.""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.""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.""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.""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.""It is definitely scalable.""The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface.""The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process.""The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market.""Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity.""Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features.""The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback.""Object identification is good.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift.""UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented.""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'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.""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 rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."

More Broadcom Service Virtualization Cons →

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved.""The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler.""One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian.""When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too.""Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls).""There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman.""If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it.""For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."
