"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup is quite easy to manage."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"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."
"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."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"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."
"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."
