Supports MessageQueue. Provides the ability to test applications detached from integration middleware.
We now have the ability to test our complex applications completely detached from integration middleware. This improves the reliability, speed, cost, and simplicity of testing MessageQueue support: Our infrastructure was designed with the ability to detach client systems via MessageQueue queue…

Good RESTful API support and performs well, but customization is difficult and time-consuming
My advice for anyone who is considering this product is that it is mainly for RESTful calls. If somebody is using Swagger APIs or some RESTful calls as part of the specification that they want to virtualize, then this tool can be a good choice. Also, if they want to virtualize a GUI tool, then it is good. In general, this is a good product but I think that the user experience has to be improved. There's just a lot of manual work that has to be done with scripting. This should be reduced to make it a more seamless experience for the user. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is quite easy to manage."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if the product offered more in terms of data virtualization or have a separate product that could be combined with this one that could offer a bit more in order to cover more of our requirements."
"ServiceV still has some bug in the tools, such as structure of the project, integration, and combination with different tools present."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
"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"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This product is worth the cost."
"Pricing is alright, however more options would be desirable for a fairly new product like ServiceV."
