Efficiently filters API data though experiences slower performance with larger projects

I would like to see better performance in larger projects. When dealing with large amounts of data, it can become slow, causing users to potentially abandon the application. Improving performance and ensuring the app runs smoothly would enhance user experience. Stability issues, where it sometimes breaks down, need to be addressed as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Apollo GraphOS has significantly enhanced both the developer experience and product delivery timelines by offering a centralized approach to managing GraphQL schemas and services, helping reduce overhead and improve collaboration between frontend and backend teams."

"The most valuable features of Apollo GraphOS OS for me are its security and authentication processes."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

Cons

"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage."

"There’s room for improvement in schema collaboration tools, especially in large teams where multiple developers are working on overlapping parts of the API."

"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage. It sometimes takes longer than three seconds, which can affect loading times and lead to user dissatisfaction. I would like to see improved performance."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."

"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."

"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."

"The product is very expensive."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"It is a cost-effective solution."
