IsmailEl Dahshan

CEO at Exact Holding NV

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."

"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."

"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."

"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."

"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."

"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."

"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."

"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."

"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."

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."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"It is difficult to maintain."

"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."

"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

"The product is very expensive."

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

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"The product is expensive."
