User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking

There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

"It is a reliable solution."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

"The tool supports gRPC."

"The solution is scalable."

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

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."

"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."

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

"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."

Cons

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."

"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"

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."

"The learning curve is a little steep at first."

"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

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

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"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."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

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

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

Overview

Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language. The Transformation Manager software derives metadata from the elements, attributes and relationships in a source and target model. Transformation Manager then uses rules specified by Simple Mapping Language (SML), which is specifically designed for implementing data transformation projects, to generate code written in Java.
