We have a number of end points in the environment that are not terribly reliable, and with Service Virtualization we can replace them with something that is much more stable while gaining commonality, a high level of compliance, and reducing the likelihood of different problems being caused by different issues in multiple test environments.

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.

Some of the key differentiators of this tool – Easy to use, built-in integration with HP tools like LoadRunner, ALM and UFT, built-in integration with revision control software, support for multiple technologies including SAP, support for network virtualization, and the ability to control virtual services from ALM, HP ServiceTest, LoadRunner, and UFT.

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.

I’m rating it a 7 because it is not a fully evolved virtualization tool compared to other tools offering the same service.
