"The solution is scalable."
"It's very easy."
"It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
"It provides us the capability of producing business processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository."
"The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it."
"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"The stability is good."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"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."
"There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings."
"There are some features that could be enhanced like the document viewer"
"Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"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."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
