User reviews, candid discussions, and more for enterprise technology profes-
sionals.
The Internet has completely changed the way we make buying decisions. We
now use ratings and review sites to see what other real users think before we
buy electronics, book a hotel, visit a doctor or choose a restaurant. But in the
world of enterprise technology, most of the information online and in your inbox
comes from vendors but what you really want is objective information from
other users. IT Central Station provides technology professionals with a com-
munity platform to share information about enterprise solutions.
IT Central Station is committed to offering user-contributed information that is
valuable, objective and relevant. We validate all reviewers with a triple authen-
tication process, and protect your privacy by providing an environment where
you can post anonymously and freely express your views. As a result, the
community becomes a valuable resource, ensuring you get access to the right
information and connect to the right people, whenever you need it.
IT Central Station does not endorse or recommend any products or services.
The views and opinions of reviewers quoted in this document, IT Central Sta-
tion websites, and IT Central Station materials do not reflect the opinions of IT
Central Station.
The total ranking of a product (i.e. bar length) is based on a weighted aggregate ranking of a product’s Buyer intent, Total Number of Reviews on IT Central Station, and Average Rating Based on Reviews. For each ranking factor, the score is calculated as a product of the weighting factor and its position for that ranking factor. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product with the most reviews in its category, then the product’s ranking score for reviews would be 17.5% (weighting factor) * 80% = 14.

When evaluating Service Virtualization tools, IT Central Station users explain that it is important to understand your specific needs as well as the capabili-ties of the various tools. Users note that earlier defect identification as well as the ability to spin up virtual services without purchasing additional hard-ware are valuable features of these tools. Buyers should also take into consideration the types of licenses available, associated costs and integration
with other products.
Top Rated Service Virtualization Tools
… It allows you to not be so dependent on systems that in traditional testing causes you delays and impacts your overall time testing schedule, and just creates an efficiency in your overall process. It allows you to duplicate those systems or
mimic them in a way that creates greater efficiency and increases time to market overall.
… In my current role, we use Parasoft Service Virtualization to fill gaps within our environments, to enable testing ear-lier, and to enable us to test situations within our test environments long before the environments are ready for use. I would have to say that the Environment Manager (EM) component is one of the cleanest, easiest, and most impacting
part of the application.
… I think a big thing for us is a tighter market and a reduction of wastage. We have a number of endpoints in the envi-ronment that are not terribly reliable. If they failed, then we could end up with tens of hundreds of people suddenly not
being able to test or validate. We’re early in the journey, but so far no issues with scalability.

Valuable Features
I think the most valuable feature is the ability to quickly create simulations of
APIs that you use to disconnect you from your dependencies as part of your
testing process.
We’ve really done two different scenarios. One is the creation of a new API.
We were able to create a simulation before we ever wrote a line of code,
and so all of our customers who would use that gave us direct feedback very
quickly. In a performance environment, we have lots of dependencies, lots of
services that we talk to. Having the simulations gave us the ability to run test
when we want rather than when they’re available.
room For ImproVement
The things that we’re interested mostly are deployment kinds of capability.
We would like to deploy these simulators as part of our continuous deploy-
ment process. We would like to be able to auto-deploy them as part of the test
mechanism to help test teams without having to set up the infrastructure in
advance.

stabIlItY Issues
We’ve had no issues with the stability of the solution, had no problems at all in
the six months we’ve had it deployed.
sCalabIlItY Issues
One of the requirements that we had early on was the ability to handle high
transaction rates. Our target was 700 transactions a second. We were just
able to prove with our mix of services over 750 so very, very comfortable.
This is one development group. We have lots of different groups that are
standing at the doorway to get in. It’s a very exciting time.
teChnICal support
We didn’t use technical support during the evaluation. We’ve used it a lot
since, mostly to try and fix things that we didn’t quite understand properly, not
bug fixes.
preVIous solutIons
Listening to our executives, one of the key difficulties that the development
teams were having is the ability to test faster, so they can’t deliver content
faster to our customers because they can’t test fast enough mostly because of
these dependencies and the outside suppliers. Having a service virtualization
solution gives us the ability to disconnect ourselves from our suppliers and
those blocking dependencies, allows us to go faster.
We’re not really KPI-driven. It’s really can we allow the team to test without the
dependencies where they weren’t able to do that before?

InItIal setup
One of the reasons we picked the product was it was easy to set up. We
signed our contract at the end of May, and we had our production instance up
and running in the second week of June, so it was very easy to set up and it’s
been running solid since.
other aDVICe
We really disconnected ourselves from the IT department. They run the infra-
structure. It’s then very stable and performant. Most of the administration is
done by the engineering team itself, product engineering.
This solution is very valuable in terms of being able to speed up. One of the
primary capabilities was the ability to consume it by our teams. How hard is it
to learn? How hard is it to set up? Of the three vendors in the evaluation, the
CA Service Virtualization was the easiest license model and the easiest to
stand up and configure.
I’ve never really given anybody a 10 so I give them a 9. It’s done everything it
said it would do. We’ve got great consumption, early acquisition of the product.
Support has been fantastic as we hope it would. The user interface is easy to
learn. All of the things we set out as objectives have been met in the primary
deployment.
CA Service Virtualization is an amazing solution, very easy to use, easy to train
others on how to take advantage of it. I’d say jump on it.

Real User Reviews of CA Service Virtualization
Valuable Features
Service Virtualization allows you to function in an isolated manner. It allows you
to not be so dependent on systems that, in traditional testing, causes you delays,
causes impacts to your overall time testing schedule, and just creates an efficiency
in your overall process. It allows you to duplicate those systems or mimic them in a
way that just creates greater efficiency and increases time to market overall.
ImproVements to mY organIzatIon
The biggest thing, the huge time to market gain. The other thing is just financial
efficiency. We’re seeing huge financial gains in terms of using the tools. One of the
biggest things that I like about the CA products is they do what they say they’re
going to do. From financials, we’re seeing millions of dollars worth of savings.
We’re also seeing time to market gains, just based on the fact that we’re not de-
pendent or delayed by back end systems and other environments that traditionally
caused us delays.
room For ImproVement
I think some of the monitoring capabilities could be enhanced. Those aren’t
necessarily major gaps for us, but I think that would be good. Just some of the real
time monitoring and reporting capabilities. Some of the solutions that we’ve had
to create weren’t necessarily out of the box. They were successful and again, CA
supported them. Some of the reporting capabilities would be good. Additionally,
when you’re starting to identify your value ads, some of that reporting would help
in identifying and calculating your savings.
stabIlItY Issues
It does what it says it’s going to do. It’s a very stable platform. The initial installation
and coming in and bringing it into your organization, it can be a little disruptive, but
once you create some real strategies around how to deploy the solution in your
platform, the gains far out weight what the delays would have been or the chal-
lenges would have been in getting it up and going.
sCalabIlItY Issues
It scales wonderfully. We’ve scaled it from doing isolated projects, one or two
projects in terms of our pilots and proof of concepts, to putting it in an organiza-
tion as an enterprise solution going across huge organizations with millions of hits
to the actual platform.
teChnICal support
The technical support is great. They’re very responsive. Even on top of that, the
resources that CA provides, whether it’s your account director, your strategist, your
sales people, are also very supportive. They’re there when you need them. I’ve
called them at seven in the morning, I’ve called them at ten at night. I’ve never had
an issue getting the right people engaged when I needed them. They also are re-
ally supportive of providing escalations when need be. In some of their platforms
that are even growing and migrating, if they need to enhance their solutions to fit
your needs, they’re also there to do that and support you.
preVIous solutIons
Prior to engaging with CA, I had identified the need. In terms of needing to isolate
myself from both data environments, back end systems. I knew I needed to do it. I
had actually started on a personal journey, working with a couple of other vendor
companies to try to figure out if we could actually build the solution. At that point,
I was introduced to someone from CA and the initial LISA product, as it was called
at the time. That product matched exactly what we needed at the time. It was a
match made in heaven at that point. We started down the journey at that point.
other solutIons ConsIDereD
There were definitely other vendors on our short list. They all had quality or de-

cent products. Where they fell short was on the service side, which is why I pushed
for the CA solution. Backend services, web services, is its primary function. We also
use it for some MQ services.
other aDVICe
We initially started with a small proof of concept. For a product like this, that’s what
you would normally do. With that proof of concept being successful, we migrated to
supporting an entire organization within the bank that I was working at at the time.
We took that solution from there to actually doing an enterprise deal and now push-
ing it across the entire company.
The product is obviously key. You want a product that meets the needs that you
have. The other thing is the service that I get provided by those people that are
coming in. Whether it’s the sales or some of the pre-sales folks that are coming in.
The support that I’m getting from them, the responsiveness that I’m getting from
that, is critical. If you don’t have a company that’s going to be good to you when
they’re trying to sell something to you, they’re not going to be good to you when
they’re supporting you later. That’s all obviously been key for me.
In terms of the value that we were able to get out of the tool, I would definitely prob-
ably give it a nine. The only reason I wouldn’t push for a ten is ... When we initially
got the product, we were growing and the product was growing at the same time,
so there were some things that had to be tweaked and some support we needed
that wouldn’t have made it a ten out of the box tool. I would say where we got it and
the way we were able to use it, that definitely pushed it to a ten. Out of the box, I
would say I felt like it was a strong nine product.
I would say if you’ve had the engagement with the CA tool and you’ve heard the
sales presentations and you’ve heard all the hoopla about what the tool will do,
know that what they say it will do, it does. It does it very well. From a market stand-
point, it does it as a market leader. Overall, I haven’t had any complaints with the
tool in terms of the organizations that we’ve deployed the tool, they love what the
tool has done for them in terms of their development, their development cycles, and
the quality of the testing and the coding they’ve been able to do using the tool.
Not in terms of comparing it with a different solution, but realize that it is a disruptive
tool in terms of the initial deployment. They need to understand it’s going to take
some heavy lifting. If their philosophy on deploying a tool is stand it up and every-
body’s going to come to you and want to use it, that’s a poor solution and poor
thought process. It is a tool that you’re going to have to actively work to deploy. If
you put together a strategy around deploying the tool and you do the work, the tool
will get you the gains and the advantages and the saving that you’re looking for in
your organization.
I think it’s great to hear what the industry is saying, what peers in the industry are
saying is important. Some of our pain points generally are about the same. If they’re
showing how they can use the tool, how it’s be successful for them, it is definitely
something I want to hear.
It allows us to Function In an Isolated manner by allowing us to Duplicate or mimic systems.

RA
We asked the IT Central Station users to rate the most important components of successful and quality release management software. The most widespread opinion was that users should have a very clear understanding of the platforms that will be operating under the software since each one will require its own, sometimes differing functions. Users should ensure that the release management solution is a good fit for their system, and then
determine the cost of installing, configuring, and implementing the option.
Top Rated Release Automation Tools
… We previously used a home grown tool which was no longer scalable. [CA Release Automation] allows us to do multiple things at once as opposed to serially. I think the pre-codified actions for doing the release activities is a major benefit. It’s
something that we don’t have to write scripts for, they’re already written. We just need to pull them together.
… Before we automated deployments, there was a big problem with manual intervention and people making changes on production services and forgetting what they did. ... Then there’s the traceability aspect -- you can
trace back to the code which is stored in ClearCase through the build. All the deployment artifacts can be traced back to the original source.
… The Pipeline concept, Fan-in Fan-out, and Compare build are the most valuable [features] to me. Before implementing Go we used librarian-puppet to deploy code to different Puppet master servers. With Go we were
able to automate that process, implement extra code checking functionality and get a nice visual view of our environments state.

Valuable Features
One, it’s agent-based. It allows us to do multiple things at once as opposed to
serially, which we had a home grown tool that did it serially. We’ve reduced our
time frames. I think the pre-codified actions for doing the release activities, also
is a major benefit. It’s something that we don’t have to write scripts for, they’re
already written. We just need to pull them together. Those are the two major
things.
The other thing that the tool does that we’re beginning to realize is it’s address-
ing what Gartner’s calling this bi-modal approach. What we’re realizing is that
Mode 1, which is your old legacy type of approach, which is why we got the
tool. It’s fantastic for, but now the new fast speeds using it in the Mode 2 type
thing, we’re finding it bullet-proof there as well.
ImproVements to mY organIzatIon
One of the key benefits, what really we’re looking at is the quality of the
releases, not necessarily the code quality, but the actual deployments and the
speed at which we’re doing it. Things that we automate are taking upwards of
8 to 10 times less. Now, what we can do is we can do 3 to 4 times more on a
release. We just had our largest release ever. Without CA Release Automation,
there’s no way we could deliver that level of code to our end-customers. It’s
very stable.
room For ImproVement
We’re using it more on the deployment side. What we really want to do is see a
stronger or easier user interface. I think the biggest complaint that we’ve gotten
from the development side is that the user interface, the experience is not as
good as they’d like it to be. It’s hard to comprehend. We’ve overcome that with
a lot of our own solutions, but we’d really like to see that user interface, and
would like to see them get into more of the release orchestration aspect. We’re
actually using an internal solution for that. I know they’re heading in that direc-
tion, we’re really looking for that, and again, that needs to be ease of use. That
user experience is critical. The developers have their critical time frames, and
for them to figure out and comprehend a new tool is not acceptable. We need it
to be simplistic and easy to use. There are some challenges, we’ve overcome a
lot of them though.
stabIlItY Issues
Very stable. We were fortunate that early on, one of our internal technicians/
architects sat down with CA. Went through the process of designing what the
solution should look like. We’re benefiting from that up front set up and struc-
ture of the tool in order to make it very reliable. It’s enterprise wide, it’s being
used by all groups.
sCalabIlItY Issues
Extremely scalable, that’s one of the main reasons why we bought it. It’s ex-
tremely scalable. We’ve been able to scale up from probably 100 or so automa-
tions to where we’re doing 700 now, per release. It’s been a very powerful tool.

teChnICal support
The tool has been so bullet-proof, we haven’t had to tap it, but when we have
tapped it, it’s been spot on.
preVIous solutIons
Our releases were getting bigger and bigger. The demand was getting larger
and larger. We knew that the home grown tool was not going to be able to be
scalable, basically. It was elongating our releases. We need to get our stuff
done in a weekend, and it was beginning to drift into the following week. We
went to the marketplace, CA Release Automation was a market leader, we
made a quick decision in that direction. We haven’t regretted it.
The support we’ve had with CA in the past had been very strong, those were
important to us. Then, the depth of the solution. I think we’re looking into
the depth of the solution, and the agility and flexibility of that solution, I think
were important to us in this decision. We’re with a large player, somebody
that could support us if we needed. The tool, from everything we had been
reading and researching, it could stand up to it. I think those were the things
that we were looking for.
InItIal setup
The initial set up itself as relatively straightforward, what was a challenge was
the roll out. You had competing priorities, you had adoption issues, you had
skill set gaps. Not only on the roll out team, but on our development team.
What we were able to do was close some of those skill set gaps. It became a
journey where we had to show the value to each of the individual develop-
ment groups, and it created momentum. As we got these development
groups onto the CA release automation, they saw the benefit. We were able
to take internal environments, and be able to turnaround those environments
in seconds as opposed to days. We began to get the adoption. It’s getting
that initial movement forward which was really the challenge. I don’t know
that there’s anything that CA could’ve done. It was something that we had to
do internally.

other solutIons ConsIDereD
At the time we did the selection, no. They were out there. I was not part
of the selection process, I know the person that was, and we got release
automation before it was known as CA Release Automation. It was then
purchased by CA. It was a clear market leader, so we basically went in that
direction.
other aDVICe
My recommendation would be: a) buy the tool, b) recognize that it’s a
journey. It’s not something that it’s a binary thing that’s going to happen
overnight. You’ve got to continually sell it and treat it as an ongoing initia-
tive. We’re post the projectization of it, and we’re still bringing people on
board to the process. I would recognize that this is a continuous delivery,
Real User Reviews of CA Release Automation
if you will, exercise that I don’t think ever stops because your code and your
code base is constantly evolving. There are things that you can continually
do, integrate it with your change management environments, integrate it with
some of the other DevOps tools that you can’t even imagine what you can
do with it. I would say, recognize that it is a great foundation for your release
automation, but it doesn’t stop there. This tool is holding up to the new re-
quirements that are coming, and that’s what we really like about the tool is as
the world evolves, this tool is stable. It’s stable and it’s able to adapt.
Valuable Features
The best thing that it offers us is the opportunity to streamline our deployment
so that we can have serial and horizontal dependencies. We have been able to
stack multiple different server type deployments along the database deploy-
ments, have them all dependent on each other appropriately and report out the
successes or problems at the end of the process.
ImproVements to mY organIzatIon
We have the repeatability, we have the confidence that it’s doing the same
thing each time the way we’ve set it up to do and just being able to have the
expectation of knowing exactly what’s going to happen in the order that our
infrastructure needs it to happen.
We rely on it quite often. We use it many, many times during the course of a
week or a month and it’s held up for us, so it’s doing what we need it to do.
room For ImproVement
Well, I’m looking forward to seeing different kinds of scheduling options and
being able to troubleshoot more real time if something does go wrong. Those
would be two things that would be very helpful to us.
DeploYment Issues
Deployment was pretty big and there were a lot of dependencies between the
different components and we just weren’t able to make it work manually.

mentation by any means but we’ve got a very complex system and we add
more to it on a regular basis as our application grows.

Valuable Features
There are a lot of great features with Test Data Manager. It’s allowed us to
really revolutionize the way that we are doing our testing. We use Test Data
Manager to create synthetic data for our testing purposes. We have a legacy
application that has been around for a very long time, and a lot of the people
that originally developed it are no longer with the company, so we’ve had
to do a lot what we call, “Data Archaeology,” to go in and recreate our data
model. Test Data Manager has allowed us to do that, capture that model, and
then create that data on demand, saving us a huge amount of time and money
in the process.
ImproVements to mY organIzatIon
It’s really allowed us to focus on the craft of testing, and not focus on the creat-
ing data, spending time setting up the scenario that we need, or trying to find
that sort of thing. It’s allowed us to be more focused on our efforts, it’s allowed
us to be faster. We run an agile shop, and so we’ve been able to use that data
in our pipeline as we deliver stuff in a CICD world. It’s been great.
sCalabIlItY Issues
It’s been very stable. We haven’t had any issues with the technology at all.
teChnICal support
It’s been great. They’re very knowledgeable in the tool, they’ve helped us
overcome some hurdles as we’ve been evolving in the practice ourselves and
they’ve been super.
preVIous solutIons
Test data creation, for us, was a very manual process. The options were either
creating it with hands-on keyboards with people actually having to spend time
creating it, and we would also do some things where we would just grab data
out of production. That didn’t always work for us, because you didn’t know
what you were going to get when you captured that data.
Not being able to create your own data was very time consuming to create
data on your own. Or, when you did things like grab things out of production.
You didn’t always get all the data combinations that you might need, it just
happened to be whatever was there at the time. You certainly weren’t getting
some of the negative scenarios that we need to test with also.
InItIal setup
CA and one of our vendor partners came in and helped us do a Proof of Con-
cept. They helped set up the infrastructure, and then walked us through the
application, and actually proved out that we could do in in our environment,
because it was, for us, an interesting environment. It was, I wouldn’t say easy,
but we were able to get it done.
roI
The return on investment for us has been great. In the last year, we captured
some metrics around our ROI, and we’ve saved over eleven thousand hours
in manual time of trying to create test data. In that same time, that eleven
thousand hours, has translated to about eleven million dollars in cost savings,
just from that. Additional benefits around being able to shorten our test cycle
time, allow us to go deeper and further into our testing and freeing up people
to actually do the work that they’re paid to do, and not being doing things like
creating data so that they can actually do the work.

other solutIons ConsIDereD
It was a green field for us. We just really didn’t know what, where, so we
looked at everything that was available in the space, and we chose CA
because they probably did have the best offering that would support the most
technologies. We have everything from legacy, RPG iSeries type stuff, all the
way up to applications in the cloud, and we needed something that would
scale for all of those.
other aDVICe
Important criteria when selecting a vendor: we want to work with somebody
that’s going to help us solve the problem that we’re trying to solve. Do it in a
way that works for our enterprise. We don’t want to do something that only
works for one team or one solution, something that’s scalable. We have a lot
of different technologies in our organization, so we need something that will
work with all of them.
We need a partner that will help us. This was something new to us, and so we
needed somebody to help us dive in, figure out how to do it in our world, and
translate that out and help us be successful with the implementation.
Rating: I would say it is a 10/10. It’s been a great experience for us. We really
have benefited a lot from it. It’s been a great story, as we’ve learned how to
sell it and embed it into our process, and it’s been really beneficial for us. We
got a lot of conversations with people while we’ve been here about recom-
mending the application. It’s been transformative for us in order to implement
that.
It’s an interesting process to go through. Organizations need to change their
model and stop thinking about how they’ve always done things, and so the
challenge is really getting people to think in a new way, but once they do, it’s
been a terrific experience. It’s really allowed us to focus on the craft of what
we’re trying to do, rather than lots of other activities that we don’t need to be
spending time on.
