“Great Software, Even Better People Behind It!”

5.0
May 15, 2026
Parasoft has been a pleasure to work with from day one. Every time we've reached out to their support team, the response has been prompt and the answers thorough. They don't just point you to a knowledge base article and call it done. They take the time to actually understand your issue and provide details, thoughtful replies that get you moving again quickly. Beyond support responsiveness, the documentation Parasoft provides is genuinely some of the best I've encountered. It's well organized, easy to navigate, and written in a way that makes complex topics approachable. Phone interaction with their team have been equally impressive. Every call has been professional, friendly, and productive.

“Parasoft: Real-World Test Simulations Amidst Performance Issues”

3.0
Jan 25, 2025
Parasoft is good for testing your service with real world like test data giving you enough to make it support powerfull i think the feature of sharing the test environment with multiple teams is great but there are some performance issues related to it if you are getting the sets to big but all in all it is great for projects where you need fast mockup and real world testing simulations

Parasoft Virtualize Likes & Dislikes

Like

The robustness of their documentation and deployment processes.

Like

1. ability to get real world simulations with data layer filters and stress testing 2. The support for all types of messaging format's 3.Report and dashboards are also a good addon if your team wants a top level view of the test iterations

Like

Wide coverage of protocol types, speed of development, and excellent support and documentation.

Dislike

The CTP database was a little complicated to setup at first, but once I had it running it was smooth sailing.

Dislike

1. the setup and moderation curve is a little bit complex and time consuming 2. maintaining the versioning of your app with frequent API updates and new app releases it is some time taking extra efforts in changing the configurations at the same time you can create a new project instance 3. onboarding cost of the tools and services is on the higher side

Dislike

Server issues caused some problems with deployment. Clearer instructions around deploying in a cloud environment using OpenShift would have helped. Certain lessons on your support site are locked down from even viewing until you have completed viewing others. This feels unnecessary. Also Virtualize was not offered separately from SOAtest, even though they are separate licenses.
