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.
"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."
"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."
"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 is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"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."
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"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."
"The technical support is good."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"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."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"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."
"More examples of portal-based 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."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman."
"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."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
