You can build your model with a graphical interface using UML. Apart from some scripting, there is no coding.
An area of improvement is the stopping and starting of services from the Bridge server console. The only way to test services on the Bridge is to have them scheduled so that they run at a specific moment in time. It is, at this time, not possible to trigger this by hand from the console. It is possible to trigger it via the analyze tool, which is used to trace the service. It would be nice to have a simple way to test services without having to schedule them. This is no problem for a developer, but from the functional consultant point of view, the functional consultant needs to test the service and determine if it meets the requirements. It's not a big issue, but it would be nice to have.

Great for handling large volumes of data, but it is priced a bit high
When I do coding, I think about every single function. Some of these functions can be very elementary, like doing a substring or some capitalization. But FME removes all that coding because it's a transformer, so the time to develop an application to get to a point where you're producing results is decreased massively. It used to take weeks and months to develop software, and now I can use something like FME, and within one day, we get results. We can look at and validate data. We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for FME?
The pricing is really bad. Last year, they rebranded the whole pricing structure. It used to be moderately priced at about £400 per user per year. Now they've changed the whole thing, and it's expe...
What needs improvement with FME?
The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point. There must be a technical or comm...
