Patricio-Martinez

Developer at Selfemployed

Good for large amounts of data and has a variety of use cases but can be complex to use

It's a very complicated tool. Sometimes the customer wants better, faster transaction times. They want the solution to move as fast as possible. We're trying to scale and grow our application with more servers to get the level of speed desired. Everything from small processes to big batch processing needs to be faster.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements

Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that Compuware File-AID can actually map out control sections within load modules, or, as they're now known, program objects."

"From a user perspective, the GUIs make it easier for people to see and interact with files on the mainframe."

"We can develop in parallel today on ISPF, but it's giving us the advantage of the newer interface into the mainframe programming languages that younger programmers can use and are familiar with, rather than using the ISPF green screen."

"It does our CICS NEWCOPYs and our Db2 binds for us, whereas before, that was a manual process. It takes a lot of the workload off of the operations folks and off the DBAs."

"We have seen an improvement in the rate and level of quality at which we deploy changes."

"It's a modernized development portal and helps reduce the learning curve for younger people coming in to work on the platform,"

"It helps our staff work by speeding up their documentation process."

"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"Overall, webMethods offers a good user experience and is easy to use for our company."

"By selecting Software AG and using multiple products, this saved us about 72 percent, which has definitely given us more agility."

"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."

"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."

"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."

"The stability is good."

Cons

"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."

"It would be nice to have an audit trail to see what mainframe developers are using what."

"Their technical support could be better."

"It would be good if the vendors would work together or at least have some collaboration between them, so they would know what would work and what wouldn't work. Right now, the way things are working, they're relying on the customer to make everything work."

"Initial setup can be tricky in some cases."

"When you're setting up the parameters for how ISPW will work in your shop, there are a lot of questions that have to be answered... BMC Compuware should have more in-depth explanations about what the choices in each question mean. If you pick A, what does that mean has to happen? What does that impact? If you pick B, what does that mean? What does that impact?"

"Better discussions to identify inventory prior to the start of any migration would be helpful for potential clients that have applications with code that is not modified often."

"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."

"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish."

"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."

"The solution's release management feature could be better."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding. They could also improve the clustering."

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"Scalability is not the best capability of this product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, there isn't an extra charge for the parts of it we use. It comes with the licenses we purchased for other products, so no complaints there. The licensing is built in with the other products that you purchase from Compuware."

"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been competitive."

"The price point is great."

"The only thing I would mention related to the licensing and/or the pricing, is that they have some visualization features in there that are licensed by concurrent users. We're starting to trip up on that. We're looking to probably increase the number of concurrent licenses that we have. But those types of licensing strategies, where they license by concurrent users or the number of seats is confusing for some people. They don't understand why it works sometimes and doesn't work other times."

"It has saved our developers time and effort when working on documentation, which is now more readable and fluent."

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."

"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."

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

"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."

"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"The product is expensive."

"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
