Aphiwat Leetavorn.

CTO at Marco Technology

Is scalable and easy to use, but the monitoring feature needs improvement

The support for Micro Focus Service Virtualization is better than that for other products. The technical support staff are highly skilled. Sometimes, we don't have to open a ticket. We can just go into the community and then talk to them directly. I would rate technical support at seven out of ten.

Luis Sanchez

Senior Quality Assurance Test Engineer at Dormakaba

Helps in data, regression, performance, security, and functional testing

ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The feature which is most valuable in this solution is the ease of use. The product is very easy to use and very easy to implement."

"Service Virtualization cuts down dependency across dev as well as any third party components."

"The support for integration patterns and the ease of use to wizard-based utility is what I would consider the most important features for service virtualization platforms."

"The purpose for this tool is very obvious and Micro Focus covers it very well."

"It's a much more cost efficient approach to server deployment."

"Don't give up. It may sound very expensive at the beginning, but we have realized more than $15 million in savings at one of our major healthcare clients."

"Service Virtualization is key."

"It is easy to use, and the coding is easier to develop as well."

More OpenText Service Virtualization pros

"For the money this is a great tool."

"The solution saves us a ginormous amount of time; we used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."

"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."

"The tool’s scalability is very good."

"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."

"We are using SoapUI Pro as an API testing tool, and we do API building, testing, and tracking."

"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."

"API mockups is a feature that quickly allowed us to have a working API mockup interface during the initial API discussion meetings."

Cons

"A lot of technology, a lot of Microsoft services, a lot of support to the functionality aspect of it - they need to mature a lot."

"It could needs to be a lot more scalable."

"HP should work on providing better scripting support and include more communication and transport protocols."

"Sometimes it stops working after switching remote and local servers."

"Pricing is always a concern for our clients, so my guess is if anything can be beat it's price."

"I would like them to reduce the cost of the licenses."

"The monitoring feature is not impressive because they use Windows for so much monitoring."

"HPE products are good, but they never make a product for a specific use."

More OpenText Service Virtualization cons

"The application has to be restarted after being used for an hour or so as it stops working after that."

"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."

"The licenses could be more flexible with regards to floating licenses."

"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."

"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."

"Because we are paying such a huge cost, we expect more hands-on support from their research and development team."

"Stability has been an issue for us."

"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution, but you can get discounts. You have to buy one server and one designer together, for example, and it may cost 15 million Thai Baht."

"Micro Service Virtualization is very expensive. The pricing of this product is in line with all of the other big name-brand products."

"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."

"The cost is not that bad."

"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."

"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."

"It is free of charge."

"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."

"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."

"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
