webMethods.io scalability varies, effective with cloud and vertical scaling, but may require careful planning for high transaction volumes.
For huge data requests, it cannot scale automatically; admin action is required.
Principal Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
If any webMethods.io product is installed on-premises and a company wants to scale its application, either vertical scaling or horizontal scaling is needed.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Denodo is generally stable with occasional connectivity issues, high reliability, and minor resource adjustments for optimal performance.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable with high user ratings, though stability varies by setup; cloud versions may need improvement.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.

If JVM does not function properly, it may cause Denodo to fail to connect to different sources.

Denodo is stable and good.

Sales Director at Proven Consult
 

Room For Improvement

Denodo's data catalog requires enhanced functionality, user-friendliness, connectivity, integration, scalability, and modern tools for better user experience.
webMethods.io struggles with legacy models, integration issues, and cost, prompting user requests for UI, analytics, and AI enhancements.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
Director Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
 

Setup Cost

Denodo's CPU/cores-based pricing is costly for small businesses but fair for larger enterprises, including some extra fees.
webMethods.io provides flexible enterprise-focused pricing, notable for high capability yet potentially high costs, with scalable and negotiable options.
For small companies, it's not a solution that most small companies can afford.
Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
 

Valuable Features

Denodo enhances data integration through virtualization, offering performance, usability, and seamless access to diverse data sources without replication.
webMethods.io offers scalable integration, real-time connectivity, and secure, user-friendly API management for efficient enterprise workflow and system connectivity.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
Director Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently.
Datawarehouse & BI consultant, Owner, Mananging partner at NesCon B.V.
Denodo supports SQL base, so if you want to join two tables or two views, you can use SQL, which is an advantage as most developers or business people know SQL.
Principal Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
If we want to make a REST API, SOAP, REST, or any other type, all kinds of things are put in one box and we can make anything we want to.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Featured Reviews

Douglas Camargo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Backend Engineer at a pharma/biotech company with 51-200 employees
Has simplified multi-database querying and accelerated solution delivery with minimal setup
Denodo offers a great query language, the VQL, which was very easy to understand for someone that only knows SQL. It was easy to work with, and it was easy to integrate various types of databases in general. The usability of the platform is very great. The federated queries were also a feature that I used a lot. The easy usability of Denodo helped my work and made things easier for productivity. We were able to ship code faster than if we needed to use another type of data visualization tool or even an ETL. When we have multiple databases, the standard or common approach is just to have an ETL that matches the data, and we need to write this whole ETL. With Denodo, we can simplify this whole work to a few queries or setups in the databases and just make a few queries. This was actually easier, and it was faster to deliver a solution for a client instead of building a whole ETL pipeline or simply backfilling one database in another. Denodo simplifies your work and helps you ship code or ship solutions in a faster way. I really like the UI that Denodo has on the web app version. It was very simple and actually very beautiful to see. For a complicated program, it was very easy to understand how it works, even for someone who is just approaching the data engineering career or side of the programming language.

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.
