Go beyond basic mocking and stubbing to create a more robust simulation for APIs and services. Deploy a “digital twin” of your test environment to use as a sandbox for partner development or as a virtual endpoint for internal testing. Parasoft's service virtualization tool, Parasoft Virtualize, enables testers and developers to simulate services or data when access is unavailable or unreliable. The virtual assets can be easily integrated with other testing teams and visualized in a configurable test environment for faster failure detection and debugging with an intuitive codeless interface.

| Solutions Architect at InfoStretch | 3.5 | No summary available |
| Senior Information Security Engineer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I've found it greatly improves testing and scalability, with excellent support. While initial stability issues were resolved, the JMS Queue Monitoring feature needs improvement, as it had a 50% failure rate. |
| Project Lead at Mphasis | 5.0 | Parasoft Virtualization effectively simulates system behavior for Service Virtualization, removing dependencies. Despite complex setup, I find it stable, scalable, and well-supported. It's a good tool, and I recommend the community edition for basic features. |
| Chapterlead Parasoft & DATPROF with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Partner / Owner at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I find this intuitive and easy to use, but it's expensive, especially for scaling. I'd prefer a SaaS model, and support is only average. ROI takes time, yet I recommend it if your budget allows. |
| IT specialist at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | I found this solution excellent for easy service virtualization and deployment, boosting development and testing efficiency. Support is great. My main suggestion is adding more fine-grained, data-based authorization for multi-team environments. |
| Test Analyst/Test lead at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | Parasoft Virtualize significantly accelerated our application delivery by enabling early, cost-saving defect detection. Its straightforward setup and valuable features, like message responders, were great, though performance with large payloads could improve. |
| Consultant at Grupo PF | 4.5 | I've used Parasoft Virtualize for three years, finding it powerful, easy to use, and quick for service generation. It improves SDLC agility and process discovery. Setup is friendly, support excellent, but I'd like better status reports. |
