"Responsive Portal + Process Federation Server. This set of solutions offers a unified worklist to our customers."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a stale solution."

"Integration is a big plus for me."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"Where it can be improved is Integration. I think that the direction that IBM is taking now, to have something that is much more integrated, that can be seen as one single solution, is clearly the right way."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"The interface is limited and should improve in the future."
"The front end is not customised for a good user experience."
"From the testing perspective and minor enhancements perspective, customization is something that is a little tedious as compared to new tools. In addition, various open-source tools that are available are not working with IBM BPM."
"The debugging needs improvement. There is some confusion surrounding the debugging."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"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."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
