MR
Cloud Security Support at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
AI-driven queries have transformed how I discover hidden cloud assets and misconfigurations
One of the improvements that could be made to CloudQuery is the GUI. In the past, I had issues where I couldn't see all the information that would pop up at the bottom. That might be fixed by now, but I was experiencing issues with the GUI itself. CloudQuery's AI capabilities lack governance and security features. While the AI is great for helping me craft SQLs to find assets in the environment, it does not have real security features for blocking or similar tasks. I can set up SQLs for alerting, but I find that a bit limiting. For what it is, CloudQuery is great. The only improvement I could suggest would be to set up more alerting features, but overall it is great for what it is, and I would say it feels a little bit limiting.
YM
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

"CloudQuery has positively impacted my organization because instead of navigating through multiple cloud consoles, I can run an SQL query and get, for example, all my S3 buckets that are public, private, or that I need to do something with."
"The AI-generated SQL works well for my team as it gets things right most of the time."
"The solution is scalable."
"The internal services that they provide make it easy to work with."
"WebMethods.io is a powerful tool, but it requires skilled people who can fully utilize its potential."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"The EDI is pretty robust with the IO."
"Integration Server does our business-to-business integrations, and its adapters and connectors provide the fastest way to build an integration because we can immediately connect to backend systems without creating a lot of our own custom code, while the vendor’s full support for these adapters brings long-term stability to our services."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
 

Cons

"CloudQuery really acts as an asset inventory tool, which is great, but I find that somewhat limiting."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"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."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"The support is good but they could improve by being faster and more knowledgeable."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
