Governance has streamlined service registry usage but deployment and integration still need work
I work with GraphQL, REST API, and SOAP services as well. API Connect works with GraphQL and can deploy GraphQL services. I also work with GraphQL in Software AG webMethods API Gateway. I'm working with DataPower. I have experience with IBM API Gateway, API Connect, Event Stream, and App Connect, the Cloud platform integration. I didn't involve DataPower with BPM before. I have used the webMethods API Gateway. I have used an open-source framework that is not a product for a specific vendor. I work with GraphQL in three different products: API Connect, the API Gateway of the webMethods Software AG, and the Java Spring framework. I work with CentraSite and also work with the Integration Server, webMethods Integration Server, and Universal Messaging. The governance is powerful. I can recommend CentraSite for any industry working with service registry and repositories. I would rate it eight out of ten. I have seven years of experience with IBM solutions and rate them nine or ten out of ten. I have one year of experience with webMethods and rate it eight out of ten. I have five years of experience with other solutions. The overall review rating for this product is seven.

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

"The governance is powerful, and you can look up services very easily, which may reduce some development cycle time."
"webMethods Integration Server is our primary integration tool across all the solutions that we have in our supply chain."
"By selecting Software AG and using multiple products, this saved us about 72 percent, which has definitely given us more agility."
"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."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"If you are looking for a full-fledged ESB, then Integration Server is one of the best choices, as it is highly customizable."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
 

Cons

"The setup is mild. It's not so simple and not very difficult. You can make it happen with some configuration, but it's not easy for non-professional people."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"Programming model with flow is hopelessly outdated."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
"It is worth the cost."
"The product is very expensive."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
