"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."
"It is definitely scalable."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"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."
"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."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"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."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"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."
"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."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"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."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"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."
"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
