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."

"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."

"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."

"webMethods API Gateway is the most stabilized tool with a robust integration server."

"Having a product like this is invaluable to any company in terms of the amount of time that IT gets to save in terms of integrating different products as well as having an open way to ensure that these applications are working."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."

"It gives value for your money, and it is easy to implement and maintain."

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."

"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"The support is good but they could improve by being faster and more knowledgeable."

"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."

"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."

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

"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

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

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

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

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

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
