Analyst Report: Ovum - LISA Suite v5.0 Technology Audit

A third-party technology audit* on ITKO LISA 5.0 Suite performed by Ovum

ITKO recently participated in an independent product review of our latest LISA version 5 Suite with UK-based analyst firm Ovum (formerly Butler Group) principal analyst Rob Hailstone, The research was not sponsored by iTKO, however we have purchased rights to the report so you can download it free for a limited time.

In the report, Hailstone provides this overall assessment of LISA's market:

"LISA Suite provides a comprehensive set of testing capabilities that will allow customers to improve the effectiveness of their QA function for SOA or other component-based development environments. The functional modules can be enabled individually to satisfy point-solution testing requirements, but make most sense when deployed together as an integrated suite.

LISA Suite is targeted at large organizations serious about the use of SOA, but limited deployments at the department level provide a common entry level. Organizations deploying applications into a public or private cloud will benefit from the end-to-end visibility and root-cause analysis provided. LISA Suite is less appropriate for smaller organizations or those using SOA technology for simple integration."

LISA is not just a "SOA Testing" solution. Given the scope of today's development and performance challenges for teams dealing with complex, distributed architectures, a broader focus is needed as companies move toward provisioning environments for developing Composite and Cloud applications. This document describes how enterprises can apply LISA if they are concerned with BPM, Virtualization and Cloud, which are not tied to a specific architectural style or approach.

Why did we license this report? After a comprehensive functionality comparison and walkthrough process, we think it provides a pithy overview of LISA 5 software. You can download your own copy and decide for yourself...
