Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.

webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"If your infrastructure is already on Amazon, it simply makes the most sense to use a tool officially provided by them as an additional service, rather than having to rely on a third-party solution."
"We have the ability to bring data for all tables of a database in one go, as long as the tables follow a particular naming convention."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The most valuable features of the AWS Database Migration Service are the ease of migration, beneficial storage system, security, and simple instance creation. Additionally, the cloud that is provided is more complete than other solutions."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a stable solution."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
 

Cons

"Support could be more expedient. Right now I am waiting on support for an extension."
"One area that AWS DMS can improve on is its conversion of data types. For example, in Oracle, you have a data type called RAW, but in PostgreSQL there is no such thing. Thus, AWS DMS doesn't know what type I want to use when migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and when performing the migration, AWS DMS changed the RAW data type to the byte data type, which isn't what I wanted."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Database Migration Service is the least expensive solution, but is still expensive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The pricing is per hour, though I do not have the exact figures. If you have specific questions about the service, a personal support team from Amazon is available, but this will bring in additional costs."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"It is worth the cost."
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"The product is very expensive."
"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
