"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"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."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."

"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The product should improve its support."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
