Sr.Manager - Programming and software development at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Scalable and easy to maintain

One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification.

Yashraj Makwana

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

"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."

"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."

"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."

"The most valuable feature is stability."

"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."

"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."

"The stability is good."

"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

"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."

Cons

"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."

"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."

"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."

"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."

"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."

"Support is expensive."

"It could be more user-friendly."

"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."

"The product is very expensive."

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

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

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

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."
