Gert Booysen - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Leader at GE Vernova
Extensive format support and reliable integration enhance data management while new pricing model requires reassessment
I haven't had any input or requirements from any customers that are not currently covered, so I don't have any additional needs that were identified or raised to me. Regarding pricing, with the model changes that they've implemented a while back, it actually made it more expensive to use, especially on the server side. They changed the licensing model, and that made customers think it is overpriced. Some customers were actually looking at alternatives. Pricing with the model changes was perceived negatively. I work primarily with enterprise customers, Vodacom, Eskom, so it's tier-one customers. For small customers, this solution is a bit too expensive. They don't really use it and just do direct integration on smaller implementations. This is basically used by tier-one customers. FME is still able to save time and money for clients. It's still a good investment. Regarding similar products to FME, GE developed a product called Data Fabric. That is a real-time operational integration platform, Data Fabric Network Connect, which is a GE Grid OS product. It is actually more expensive than FME, but the purpose is different as it's operational. The vendor in this case is GE, and it's a company that we bought that used to be called Greenbird. In current use scenarios, FME is still leading compared to Data Fabric. The GE product has a different application.

Streamlines daily data workflows and has improved reliability for complex business integrations
One area where Integrate.io Platform could improve is around visibility and debugging. While the logging is helpful, it can sometimes take time to trace issues across multiple steps in a pipeline, especially when flows become complex. A more streamlined way to track data through each stage or clearer error messaging would make troubleshooting faster and more intuitive. Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds. Having more advanced customization options without sacrificing the ease of use would be a big plus, in my opinion. Documentation clarity around existing pipelines was also something I felt could be better supported. Since integrations tend to evolve over time, having strong built-in documentation features or easier ways to understand dependencies between jobs would have helped, especially when onboarding someone new. I only stayed with this client for six months, so we needed to bring or train their team members to do this. Revisiting flows after a while would have been nice. The last thing would be performance transparency could be improved. Jobs generally run reliably, but having clearer insights into performance, such as bottlenecks, processing time per step, or optimizing suggestions would make it easier to fine-tune workflows as data volume grows. Part of my job, and what the client in this case wanted, was to scale in the future without having to change to another tool, so that would help a lot. I would say the platform is solid, but these kinds of improvements that I mentioned would make it even more efficient to manage at scale and over time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FME's features that I have found most valuable are that it has a very friendly user interface, you don't need to use a lot of code, it has a lot of connectors and few forms, and it has a strong facial aspect that can do a lot of facial analysis."
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."
"From my reseller perspective, the best features in FME are the ease of operation and the fact that it works."
"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."
"FME is spatially aware and understands how to deal with the conversion of spatial objects and their attributes."
"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface."
"Integrate.io Platform has helped simplify my data pipelines, as it is really good with Salesforce sync."
"Integrate.io Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing a lot of our workloads because we can make this replication faster and connect it with other connectors, and it also gives us this GPU that allows us to work faster."
"I think the platform helped them move forward towards a more streamlined, reliable, and scalable way of handling their data operations."
 

Cons

"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."
"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."
"We are looking at the possibility of using Glue instead of FME, using the native AWS product."
"Regarding pricing, with the model changes that they've implemented a while back, it actually made it more expensive to use, especially on the server side."
"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."
"FME is a great tool, but I don't know if we can scale it up since the prices are high and we would need to convince the decision makers to provide more budget."
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."
"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."
"Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds."
"Customer support could be better. We often get replies that are delayed, and sometimes there is a lot of back and forth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000."
"The product's price is reasonable."
"We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful."
