IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server vs OpenText Service Virtualization comparison

"It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations."

"As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature."

"It is easy to use. This is what I tell my customers. The coding is easier to develop as well."

"The most valuable feature is that it reduces the dependency so that the down time of the environment is not a major cost. That cost can be used for something else like the cloud."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature is SAP virtualization."

"User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS."

"Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria."

"The current protocol needs to be updated to be much more flexible. The product needs more technical flexibility in implementation and customization."

"More support for different protocols. I would love to see more wizards rather than relying on some custom coding, which you can use C# as well as Visual Basic scripting. In the service virtualization platform, I would love to see more wizard features as well as the ability to connect to an external database, which by the way, we have put an enhancement request in for. I'd love to see that in the service virtualization platform."

"The integration with other solutions, such as ALM and Jira, should be improved."

"HPE products are good, but they never make a product for a specific use. They make a product for the enterprise because that is their vision. They like multi-generational business plans. That means that they don't deliver small bits and pieces, but rather, they deliver to the enterprise."

"The monitoring feature is not impressive because they use Windows for so much monitoring. They set a lock on the window, and then we have to gather the information from the main monitoring feature in the Windows server. There is not enough capacity for problem solving performance issues."

"The product has a free trial available, which has saves on the initial investment costs."

"IBM RTVS is not that expensive compare to other giants, but it is still much ahead of some other tool having less features."

"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."
