"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"The product is robust."

"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."

"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."

"If you are looking for a full-fledged ESB, then Integration Server is one of the best choices, as it is highly customizable."

"Technical support is very good and user-friendly."

"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

"It has helped us streamline data from hundreds of non-SAP systems into the SAP system."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration, provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product."

"The problem is the registry to configure the systems, and it's not really scalable for companies with offices worldwide."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified."

"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"Regarding the stateful session inbound to ESB (Integration Server), it seems that the stateful session sometimes doesn't die out when the transaction is finished, but waits until the timeout expires (although quite often it doesn't even die after the timeout expires, which eventually would flood the server)."

"At least in SAG Webmethods 8 there was no Data Value Repository tool that would allow to map values/codes from source (in our case HR portal) and transform that into target ERP codes (SAP and PeopleSoft)."

"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."

"They keep producing new versions at a rate that we cannot keep up with. That is a problem for us because they have a very small set of supported versions."

"In 2008, the technical support's response time was much longer than expected."

"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."

"The product is not expensive."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

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

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

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"The product is expensive."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
