Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable and reliable with minor issues, enhanced by frequent updates, though rapid changes can be problematic.
The solution has a high level of stability, roughly a nine out of ten.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Data Factory needs improved integration, better scheduling, enhanced UI, simplified pricing, more connectors, and responsive support.
webMethods.io needs better documentation, stability, integration, performance, and user-friendly features, including cost-effective licensing and advanced capabilities.
Incorporating more dedicated API sources to specific services like HubSpot CRM or Salesforce would be beneficial.
There is a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP.
Sometimes, the compute fails to process data if there is a heavy load suddenly, and it doesn't scale up automatically.
Another enhancement would be in OCR; currently, there is a huge demand for OCR capabilities. It would be perfect if webMethods.io had a built-in component for OCR, as this would be tested and allow customers to use it better than a third-party OCR application.
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Data Factory pricing is usage-based and cost-effective, but large data volumes can lead to increased expenses.
webMethods.io is costly, ideal for big enterprises; licensing complex; negotiations common, but valued for its capabilities and support.
The pricing is cost-effective.
It is considered cost-effective.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
 

Valuable Features

webMethods.io provides scalable integration, intuitive API management, extensive connector support, robust security, and seamless connectivity for complex integrations.
The platform excels in handling major datasets, particularly when working with Power BI for reporting purposes.
It connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier.
I find the most valuable feature in Azure Data Factory to be its ability to handle large datasets.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.
